Written guides to the things that actually get in the way when you practise – with fretboard diagrams, not theory in a vacuum.
Scales
To the overview Guitar scales: which ones you need, and in what order → Major, minor, pentatonic and blues on the fretboard: what each one is good for, how they come out of one another, and which to learn first.- The major scale on guitar: the yardstick for everything else → The major scale on guitar: how it is built, C major in three positions with fret numbers, which chords come out of it and how to move the shape into any key.
- The minor scale on guitar: same notes, different root → Natural minor on guitar: how it is built, A minor in three positions with fret numbers, why it has the same notes as C major, and when harmonic minor comes in.
- The minor pentatonic on guitar: five positions across the whole neck → The minor pentatonic on guitar in all five positions: shapes with fret numbers, how the positions interlock, and how to move them into any key.
- The blues scale on guitar: one note more than the pentatonic → The blues scale on guitar: which note is added to the minor pentatonic, where it sits in each position, why it is a passing tone and how to practise it.
