Why Do I Have to Learn Scales
You guessed it, scales. Where do chords come from? Stacking scale notes. Where do songs come from? Taking scale notes and making them into a melody. Where do solos come from? Playing scale notes to form patterns that ultimately become the solo. Thats why music teachers place such importance on knowing them. If you understand scales and how they work, your guitar playing improves. Knowing what youre listening to will make it easier to figure out songs and eventually write songs. Take the time to learn the different types of scales and what theyre used for, youll be glad you did.
