Re: Learing scales

The most useful are the minor pentatonics such as Em and Am, they can be easy because some of their shapes resemble boxes. Also alot of rock, pop, blues, soul, funk and country songs use these scales for their solo parts. Learn them and get fast and you'll be halfway towards soloing.

I've recently assembled a songbook with tons of scales and soloing tools. Have a look through and try it out. Here's the link;

Re: Learing scales

Learn the major, minor and pentatonic scale patterns.   There are only five of each, and once you know them, you can play in any key.

Someday we'll win this thing...
