Feb 28, 2008 - Check out Justins SC-020 and SC-021 or any other "major scale" lesson. There the major scale is explained, which is in fact the attempt to play only notes that are in a certain key (e.g. C major key: C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C). You have to master the scale first before you can start to improvise. I know, learning it can be dry and frustrating, but it will pay out. Keep it up!!

Mar 9, 2008 - Learn the notes on the fret board and play the scales according to the note or get the tabs from some web site. Don't just play 1234!!! Thats more like a chromatic scale not a major scale. Its like in the piano when you play C major or any other major scale. Follow the same pattern.

Apr 16, 2008 - here's a stupid question, justin is playing in the kef of "G" if i want to play in the key of "A" do i use the same fingering only up 2 frets
abacadab80 Says:
Apr 17, 2008 - yes to nalac.lizco... he is talking about notes in the scale... not TAB, or fingerings. Start on the 1st note of the scale - (G) - proceed to play the next 3 notes of the scale in succession - (so.. g,a,b,c) then start from the 2nd note in the scale (a), and do the same - (abcd). Then the 3rd... go all the way up the scale using this pattern. and then come back down, doing the same.

Aug 17, 2008 - nalac01 that is not a stupid question, All patterns, all scales , all chords are movable he's playing in key of G yes move it up to A and it's now in the key of A, move it up to C it's now a C scale.the fingering stays the same.

Sep 22, 2008 - This may be a stupid question... but... Can you apply this training to any scale?

Nov 21, 2008 - this lesson is more about the principle than the specific scale he's easing, this lesson could apply to any instrument really

Feb 14, 2008 - Start with the tonic note. That's the first note of the scale. 'C' if you're playing a C scale - 'D' if you're playing a D scale, and so on. You should also end on the tonic note.
