I've never really bothered with scales on the guitar. I used to play bass in a band so I know some from that but I only play chords on a guitar so is it worth learning them? Almost every guitar tutorial has scales right at the start but I've always assumed that they are teaching them for soloing pruposes only. Am I right?
I'll let you know. Whether or not the scales themselves prove useful, the precision, speed, timing, and pick control aspects are already showing themselves to be valuable. Topdown commented that he thought my picking had improved the other night on the Chordie jam. My left hand is definitely limbering up. Working in bass runs seems easier.
Good point. Hadn't thought of it that way before. I do struggle with pick control, especially when skipping strings and quite often hit the wrong one. Hmmmm. Guess I'll go and dig out that scale book. Now......where did I put it?
