Beginner Scales
Scales are the templates of music, melodies come from scales and chords come from scales. In this course we begin to build a firm foundation of scales that will help your technique as well as your understanding of the instrument and music generally. Scales are the best way to establish a strong technique that will in turn help in every area of your playing.
Scales are ultimately sounds and this series of lessons will help you to hear and organize sounds. This recognition of sounds will help you to recognize what you hear thereby training your ear for everything you do in the future. The benefits of learning your scales in every region of the fretboard cannot be overstated, ear training, technique, chord spelling and general understanding at every level will be yours with regular scale practice using these courses.
