Guitar Scales – Common & Practical (Major/minor - Major/minor Pentatonic - harmonic minor) Guitar - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1177429

Major/Minor/Pentatonic/Harmonic Forms for Guitar (Sheet Music + Tab + Fretboard)
Pages: 45 (A substantial bundle deal – $0.11 a page)

Objective: Learn every key on guitar in every position with the least amount of papers and the most amount of efficiency. Learning every Major/minor scale (and inherent the modes that come with them) is critical for being adept at guitar. Has a handwritten style to aid in memory and uniqueness. Once mastering these scales, only the most bizarre songs ever written would likely lead to confusion.

Bonus Pages:
1. A Major Scale across the full neck (to see how they all combine resulting in knowing the key across the full neck).
2. Blank scale chart to add in memorization and making alterations.
3. Beautiful dark mode versions that look appealing on computer screens (just be careful of your printer settings if you don't want them)

Scales included:
1. All 12 Major/minor (with 5 major/minor "forms" emphasized)
2. Major/minor Pentatonic
3. All 12 harmonic minors
4. Blank scale charts

Tips:
1. There is a reason why I only show 5 Major/minor scales in their own section (then later I show all 12). Since these scales are easy to move higher or lower, just these 5 Major will lead to all 24 major/minor keys throughout the entire fretboard. Therefore, making a C# Major scale chart is uneccessary, and if you are doing so, you may be over thinking music. Instead, it is better to ask yourself how do I play C major but 1 pitch higher and use previous work you have done to your advantage. 5 forms is also important to think about because it fills up the guitar neck entirely, so they are worth memorizing for a more complete understanding of the neck.
2. These scales do not end on the home note. This is a disadvantage in this way, however, knowing large portions of the scale neck in one position will allow you to play a key throughout the fretboard with no gaps in notes. In otherwords, learning one ocatave scales can have concise music theory, but it's impossible to know the scale in every part of the neck completely that way. These patterns aim for more practicality on guitar than concise music theory. This might be why some guitarists dislike music theory, since concise music theory is often impractical on guitar. For example, a text-book voicing of a chord to explain music theory, but then the voicing is awkward to play on guitar.
3. Play in the order of blue, black, and red. Sounds childishly easy but you would be shocked at how powerful of a concept this is, especially when improvising over songs that don't change key. This is how I play over songs I don't know seemingly by "ear". My ears aren't actually that good, I just understand the gravity and the pointing of notes. The scholarly terms for these colors are tonic, predominant, dominant.

Features:
1. Color coding. Blue notes are home (tonic) notes. Red notes are away (dominant) notes. Try randomly building chords, you will be suprised at how unique your chords will sound. You will start to see chords not as a single diagram and more as a flexible group of notes.
2. Left hand fingerings added. Don't mistake these for fingering numbers.
3. Letter names to aid in memorization.
4. Blank sheets to work on memorization, or creating your own rare scales or unique positions. Great for quantifying finite assignments.
