That's the way I started too Parker....one pattern at a time.]]> Guitar Players Discussion tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/3/#post-352469 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/3/#post-352462 Thu, 06 May 2010 03:56:42 +0000
Thanks for the offer, tinsmith. I hope I should not need it, but if I somehow botch it up, I'll come knockin'. 8)
Learn Bending Up to the Blue Notes (again very important if ya wanna ROCK) That's about the only thing I can do decently. I'm working on everything else. :|]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/3/#post-352462 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-352461 Thu, 06 May 2010 03:40:06 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-352461 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-352427 Wed, 05 May 2010 16:45:44 +0000 which Should be studied if you want to ROCK! So....

Study: 5 minor pentatonic shapes
Add blue notes (makes Pent into Blues Scale)
Learn Bending Up to the Blue Notes (again very important if ya wanna ROCK)

I would suggest you learn all five major/minor pentatonic shapes. This is a good starting point, and from there you can learn how to "add notes"; sharp/flat/natural to build all major scale shapes as well as both the "major" and "minor" modes (by adding 4s/7s and 2s/6s respectively). Of course, this is not my idea, but it comes from a swedish fellow by the name of Dan Lundholm. He has a really good web-site, where this is all explained (in much greater detail): http://www.spytunes.com (hope I don´t break any "rules" of this forum by refering to another site. If so, I guess the admins will remove my post).

I´ve been learning stuff from this site for the past two years or so, and I really like the "concept"! It´s one of my two favourite guitar learning sites (the other one being Guitar Noise of course :mrgreen: - they´re both great in their own ways, me thinks).

Si?]]> Guitar Players Discussion tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351876 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351866 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:49:09 +0000
To start with, I will continue my pattern 1 Minor Pentatonic Scale and also use the Blues Scale whenever I think it works. These kind of just plain fit nicely together. An easy and logical step. I will also learn a Major scale pattern. Why? No good reason other than I just have it ingrained in my head that it's a really basic building block and that I should know it. I'm using the one found in the lower graphic I saw in Greybeard's scale page. (thanks again, GreyBeard!)

After I can do the Blues and Major scale, I will finish the pentatonic scales, one at a time and slowly. At some point, I will be able to tie them altogether and hopefully be able to play in any key, anywhere I want. (yes, I'm sure other sets of scales will allow me the same. I needed to pick one set and that was that.)

And then I'll solve world hunger and come up with a self replenishing energy supply.....]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351866 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351843 Sun, 25 Apr 2010 14:23:30 +0000
12 bar blues (I-IV-V) in G would use G-C-D (or D7). The key of G has one sharp (F#) and the notes G_A_BC_D_E_F#G.

In the key of F, you would use F-Bb-C (or C7). The key of F has one flat (Bb) and the notes F_G_ABb_C_D_EF.

C blues of course, would use C-F-G or (G7) and the key has no flats, C_D_EF_G_A_BC.

Now somehow, perhaps because you're starting with blues which has flat notes, you're getting them mixed up.

Here's a table of the basic major and relative minor keys: Key Minor Signature 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th C major A minor C D E F G A B G major E minor # G A B C D E F# D major B minor ## D E F# G A B C# A major F# minor ### A B C# D E F# G# E major C# minor #### E F# G# A B C# D# B major G# minor ##### B C# D# E F# G# A# F# major D# minor ###### F# G# A# B C# D# E# F major D minor b F G A Bb C D E Bb major G minor bb Bb C D Eb F G A Eb major C minor bbb Eb F G Ab Bb C D Ab major F minor bbbb Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Db major Bb minor bbbbb Db Eb F Gb Ab Bb C Now what is probably getting you mixed up is that blues is neither pure major nor minor. The blues scale is a kind of minor scale (uses a b3 and b7) and also adds the transitory note between 4 and 5 (the b5). So even basic blues uses all the notes of the major scale (in the chords) and adds 3 more (b3,b5,b7). The only notes left out are the b2 and b6 and even those might be used by skilled blues players (I'm sure they are all the time).

In the key of F, Bb is not a flatted 4, it is the 4.]]> Guitar Players Discussion hbriem https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351843 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351741 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:43:46 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/scales-scales-scales/paged/2/#post-351741
