Mastering How to Play Guitar Scales

By Tony Danvari

I will guess that at one time or another everyone has at least thought of learning how to play guitar. I know I was dreaming of it at the young age of 9 years old.

Today you can get your hands on a beginner guitar pack that includes everything you need to learn how to play guitar like a guitar, strings, amp, tuner etc You can purchase one today for $100 bucks or less, and the quality of the guitar is pretty decent.

To learn how to play guitar today is much easier than it has been in the past. Due to the fact almost ever household has high-speed internet access. To be able to log on and learn is so simple and with streaming videos from you favorite guitar icon allows you to stay motivated and pursue your dream.

Starting off learning how to play guitar with guitar scales can be a little tough for the beginner. Reason being is that their finger strength and finger tip calluses have not developed yet. This can cause frustration for the beginner as their finger tips will become sore a lot quicker. That said you might want to start with a few simple chords.

If you do want to start with scales I would say start with the pentatonic scale.

Anything you can do when you are learning how to play guitar or any instrument for that matter will make a difference. The pentatonic scale contains only 5 notes compared to the major scale that contains 7 notes. By removing 2 notes allows the scale pattern to be 2 notes a string compared to the major scale which requires 3 notes per string.

There will be 2 types of pentatonic guitar scales: the major and the minor. As the name suggests, the major scale would be a great deal harder to comprehend than the minor scale would be. The difference would be that the minor scale is shifted 3 frets from the major scale pattern. The major scale would be typically utilized in pop songs or over major progressions.

I would love to cover everything there is about the pentatonic scale but that would be a huge article. Till next time,
