A scale is a collection of musical notes arranged in
an ascending and descending order that sound good together
and are used in melody creation. Scales are the foundation to building the
chords. Each scale will lead to understanding; the ability to know and
recall relationships between notes; this leads towards understanding the
relationship between chords and how this sets an emotional mood; this leads
towards good technique and more interesting rhythm work; this
leads to complete mastery of the guitar.
To be completely honest, learning scales can be boring, but can also be interesting when you realize how much better your playing becomes by learning scales. Imagine playing simple notes in the same flavorless sequences over and over again.
The thing is, there are no set rules about the notes, or numbers of notes, some people even make up their own scales. There are lots of scales to learn and many types of scales used in every form of music. There are Minor pentatonic used in mental, minor pentatonic/ blues scale used in rock, major diatonic/major pentatonic used in Christian music and much more. Whatever kind of music you would like to play on your guitar, there are surely scales for you to learn, master, and put to good use in improving your skill and sound. We are going to go through all the scales we can find.
