Learn Guitar Scale-Quickly Learn Any Guitar Scale With These 4 Tips

[qjckyp...@yahoo.com]

You probably know that to learn guitar scales is just about the most
boring aspect of guitar practice. It's okay when you are learning the
basic stuff, but when it gets to the more complex things it can be
really time consuming, and more than a little boring. I've got 4 tips
here that will help you cut that practice time in half easily!
Learn Guitar Scale-Tip 1Sing The Scale. Learning different scales can
be tricky because not only are we programming our fingers to know
where the notes are, but we are also programming our ears with the
sounds and intervals of the scale. One of the best ways to speed up
this aspect is to sing each note as you play it. I don't expect some
kind of perfect operatic singing tone, just a simple "La" will do for
each note. In doing this you are predicting what the next note will
be, and therefore programming your brain with how the intervals for
that scale work.
Learn Guitar Scale-Tip 2Learn the scale on a single string. There's
nothing wrong with learning the scale in the regular way, but I
guarantee you'll get more use of the scale if you learn it on a single
string. This will note only speed up your understanding of the way the
scale works but it will help you open up other ways of linking it to
certain licks etc....
