I think maybe I should take a class, so I at least know one scale.

you don't even know the C-major scale?

Ranting Thespian · Post by **Ranting Thespian** » Wed Sep 03, 2003 4:13 am

nope. I learned one or two about 3 years ago, but never really played them after I learned them.

its all pattern, if you know the c major scale on guitar you know all the major scales on the guitar. what i did is learned the full minor pentatonic (mostly for the patterns) then learned the major and minor scales. you can solo and improv to anything.

I know scales and modes and stuff, but I have no idea how to choose the right chords to go along with it, or really how to figure out what scale to use after I accidentally put together a chord progression I like.

I am a classical player and have been playing cello since I was in 4th grade, so I know a lot of scales on multiple instruments.

HAHAHAHA! YOU'RE ALL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

j/k if you know the major scale, you know way more than 1 scale (so your memorization of all those scales was a little bit of a waste Apps).

if you wanna know more, dont be afraid to IM me, i can tell you all about this scale business and how to fix bedurndurn's problem of finding chords that fit well together.

SPAM ALERT!

anyway, fatjack's a good source of theory info.

i'm no celebrity testament or anything, and i'm not going to do an infomercial, but yes, he helps lots!

major scales are everything, you know major, then you know minor, and blues, and a bunch of modes...it's all there embedded in the major scales w/ an occasional slight change

just gotta watch out for that melodic and harmonic minor
