OK, I have been playing guitar for 35 years. I have always avoided the major scale in favour of the pentatonic, labeling the former as a beginner’s set of scales that is reserved for those doing College Music lessons with Mr Smith at 2pm on Fridays. Boring stuff. I am lucky enough to have loop functon in my multi-effects pedal. I really can’t believe how good this sounds; or emphasize enough how much doing these scales has opened my eyes to chord (triads) and key structures. This stuff is gold and contrary to my initial thought great fun and a new “sound” for me to explore. Thank you Justin.

Welcome to the forum Kevin. The Major scale is the foundation of music and once mastered opens up your journey into modes. Which is a whole new sound.

Love this lesson. Such a clever way to help your solos sound more melodic, and less like scales. Thanks, Justin!
