The FIRST FIVE Scales EVERY Guitarist Should Learn

[@iduncanw]

One thing that helps me learn a new scale is understanding how it's made up and how it varies from one I already know.

[@ACMusic]

That's an excellent way to go. Especially thinking about it in context to a major scale.

I learned the major scale and kinda move it around, I think I might be playing different scsles or modes but I'm not sure.

[@ACMusic]

Modes can be tricky to get your head around!!!

For YEARS I was convinced I had read that the minor pentatonic was the ONLY scale for rock .

[@ACMusic]

I think a lot of players believe that. I know I did for a long time!!!! 🫣🫣

I learned the minor scale before the major scale and I blame Santana

[@iduncanw]

Yep, dam you Santana and your sweet sweet sounds 🎸🍬🍬🎶🎵😎

[@ACMusic]

I think the minor scale gets used way more than any other in the world of rock and metal!!
