Who is the best guitarist after Jimi Hendrix?
Asked by Wiki User
slash from guns n roses is the best guitarist alive. havent you heard his solos
Playing fast solos does not necessarily mean that your a great guitarist. I myself can play extremely fast solos and have it sound awesome, without much effort. Hendrix's style of playing was unique and had meaning in each note. Now that's what made him such a gifted guitarist. - Havok

How do you write a G major scale?
Asked by Wiki User
The "G" in a G major scale is the starting pitch (also: root, tonic). "Major" tells you the steps you take when playing the scale up to the next G. The distance jumped between notes give a scale its character. A major scale sounds like the do-re-mi scale. Other scales, like minor scales, can sound sad.
The "major" refers to the root chord you play. If it's major (G,B,D), the distance between the G and the B (major third) sounds bright. If it's minor (G, Bb, D), the third is flattened, so it tends to sound sadder.
A major scale is made up of a chunk of 3 whole step notes (G, A, B) followed by another chunk of 4 whole step notes (C, D, E, F#). These two chunks are a half step apart. (B-C).
Whole steps are steps with a key wedged between them. For example, G->A is a whole step because there is one black key between them. A half step has no key between notes. B->C is an example. So is F#->G.
