try to 'hear' the scale. is it minor or major? and what key is it in? then jump in and play a couple of notes in the scale as exploration and you'll learn what notes you can and cant use pretty fast. best way is to learn by your mistakes!
Guitar Scale when ImprovisingHere are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers:Of course there are still many progressions that do not have the I, IV, V, such as many western songs which use IIm, V, I, so you will need to be aware of that.
If you know what key you are playing in, and you know your scales then you can apply the following: For a major key you choose the major scale to fit the key. (Key C Major, scale C Major, or C Major pentatonic.) For a minor key you choose the minor scale to fit the key. (Key C minor, scale C minor, or C minor pentatonic.) If you are playing the blues (which includes many country and Rock Music) you are likely to choose the blues scale which is an altered form of the minor pentatonic. (Key C (major or minor), scale C blues, or C minor pentatonic.) While it is not popular to do so these days, it is possible to use the major pentatonic for a happier sounding blues. If you are a jazz enthusiast, you need to learn and study the Modes, which aid in discovering what scale material is well matched at any given moment of a jazz piece.
A "guitar riff" is a short section that a guitar musician has produced.
LETS SIMPLIFY THIS: Everyone has great answers, but the easiest thing to do is play the pentatonic scale in the relative minor. For example, if the song is in the key of G you play the pentatonic scale in Em. To find the relative minor just go down three frets from the root and that is the relative minor. Try it and you will find this works every time for almost any kind of music. EZ as pie!
It's nothing more than a music scale such as a Major, Minor, and Dominate scale. These are seven note scales that any instrument can play. As for a guitar scale, it's a diagram that outlines the fretboard (neck) of a guitar and shows all the notes to be played for a given scale at certain positions along the guitar neck. It shows the fingering (sometimes with numbers) to help you place the correct fingering as you play each note of the scale. Not all scales are seven notes such as jazz, blues, and pentatonic scales which can have more or less notes. Hope this helped better understand! The simplest way to understand a guitar scale, it is a eight step movement using single notes it can be played anywhere on the guitar.
It would help alot if you learned some of the scales on the guitar and how they fit with the chords being played
The 'scale' of a guitar refers to the average string length between the bridge and the nut of the guitar (this is the average length because intonation at the bridge means that not all the strings are identical in length from nut to bridge).
the piano and guitar chords are different because because guitar is stringed tht u pick annd strum and piano is key lol goodluk Guitar and Piano chords are played using the same series of notes but some of the notes will repeat on a guitar. ie. C major chord is compose of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the scale (C, E, & G) when played in the open position on a guitar the C & E notes repeat.

The pentatonic scale consists of notes that don't tend to clash or sound bad against the most chords.
The Beginner Scale for a Bass Guitar is:=(high) B, C, D, F, E, A, G, (low) B=

A short scale electric guitar means the neck of guitar is shorter than a standard guitar. There many reliable guitar makers a popular one is the Telecaster guitar.

Sounds similar to the size of my Les Paul except it has a 24.75' scale. By 18 inches I'm going to assume you mean the length of the neck. What you listed is a fairly standard scale. I don't see what would be wrong with having a guitar with those specifications or how it would make you look like a noob having a certain type of guitar. What matters is your ears. Does the guitar sound good? Is the sound coming out the speakers of your amp a great tone. Do you have the talent? The scale of your guitar should only matter if you have a personal preference on scale or neck profile. It has nothing to do with what you can or cannot do with your guitar.
Yes, and no.There are two varieties of guitar scales: One is the scale type that is played using open strings (and to some extent, these can be "picked up" and placed elsewhere on the neck, and still can be played if you use a finger in the place where the open string was. Invariably, though, that changes the fingering of the scale, and the idea of "anywhere on the neck" for scales means a fingering pattern that doesn't have to be changed.)Then there are the scales which don't need to use open strings: every note is fingered. In this case, the scale pattern can be moved to another fret and used again. With these patterns, more than one is learned because of the effect of the G and B strings: all the other strings are tuned a fourth apart, but there is only a third between the G and B strings, which requires that the scale notes played on that string be "pushed up" a fret. So usually, guitar players learn scales which work well on the bottom four strings, and an additional set of forms which work over the G-B third. These scales can be moved anywhere, and the key of the scale changes as the fret chosen to start from changes. Of course, that means that a C scale that works with the first finger on the third fret will be a C scale an octave higher with the third finger on the 15th fret of the same string.No, on the other hand, happens at the end of the guitar neck, where the frets run out. Scales which start near to the end have to be modified or have other scale forms substituted or become guess-n-grab if you go over the frets.
Do is C on the "do re mi fa" scale. It's fingered x32010.
