Finding scales on guitar fretboard<\/h1>\n
Usage:<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In <\/span>Key bar<\/span> choose key (tonality,root) and from vertical menu bar on the left choose scale you want to be displayed.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

For formula explanations see <\/span>Chord page<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"learn<\/a>

working knowledge of even basic scales is a must for any serious musician especially guitar players<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

On the right there is a list of equivalent scales. Two scales are equivalent if both of them contain exactly the same notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"modal<\/a>

basic major scale becomes powerful thing when you learn its modal variations<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The list above simply reveals that instead C Chinese you can use much more common F Major pentatonic or D minor pentatonic.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Tip: <\/strong>Click on a string to hide\/reveal its notes<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
If you are interested in fingerstyle playing then skipping some strings can really open your eyes to some patterns on guitar fretboard. Look for example Image below. This is an E Major scale but showing only 1st and 2nd string and bass (low E) string. Try improvising using just notes you see here and almost everything you play will sound good!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\"modal<\/a>

once you know simple major scale you can easily magnify its power 8 folds knowing about modal theory (which basically means playing the same major scale in different musical contexts producing exotic sounds while playing familiar patterns)<\/p><\/div>\n
