www.homestudioland.com Tablature which includes fingering and fretting available on the site, as well as the accompanying power tablature. (Part 2 of the scales lesson) Practicing scales is simply a matter of three different ‘key steps’, sans the actual theory and technique part. The technique will comes on its own with practice, and the theory of it….. well, the theory is already set in stone for you! Do you know how some guitarists get that ‘doobladoobladoobla’ high-pitched bumblebee-esque shredding sound? It’s just a matter of playing scales (sometimes arpeggios) very fastly. With this lesson, you’ll find the three basic ‘hurdles’ that are oftimes difficult to overcome when playing scales. I break it down into three basic steps 1: Finger shapes (fingering patterns) 2: String transitioning (or skipping) 3: Fret transitioning (or fret skipping) Practicing these three steps on their own, and then combining them all simultaneously is the path to becoming proficient with scales. Just practice these three things, simply add speed, and you’re an instantaneous shredder. Seriously. There’s not much to it. It’s easier than you think!
