What is a guitar scale?

Answer 1

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!

Learn the basic major scales such as: 'C Major' (the white notes on the piano from 'C' up to the next 'C'. 'A Minor', (the white notes on the piano from 'A' to the next 'A'). The 'Blues' scale (a cross between the Major and Minor scales. The Major scale with a lowered 3rd, 5th & 7th tones.)

Once you learn those and can play them in all the different keys then you can learn the modes real easy and be a soloing monster!
