Hi, and thanks for subscribing to my list. This is a set of charts of 70 guitar scales, but before we start let me quickly explain

How to Read the Charts

Below you can see a short cheat-sheet. It presents one of the most basic guitar scales the C major scale.

The upper case letters on the left side of the chart represent guitar strings. Just to remind you, the E at the bottom represents the thickest string, and the E at the top represents the thinnest one. The numbers at the top of the chart indicate frets. The number 0 represents an empty sound (the string shouldnt be held down on any fret while playing it). The orange circles represent specific notes. They indicate the strings and frets on which the strings need to be held down while playing the notes. This doesnt mean that all of the indicated notes need to be held down simultaneously (as if you were playing guitar chords). Instead, its just a presentation of all the notes that are part of a given scale.

now lets take a look at the charts

About the Author

Im Carlos. Ive been playing guitar since I was 14 (I think, I cant remember exactly). However, Im no virtuoso yet. The fact is that I wasnt practicing every day. There were periods of time, some of them quite long, when I wasnt touching the instrument at all. But now Im back, playing again, learning again, and sharing my stuff to help you in your own journey. Thats why I started LearnGuitar2.com my guitar blog. Feel free to tune in for even more FREE info. Lastly, if you have any questions or just want to say hi, feel free to contact me anytime you want via email (ck@learnguitar2.com) or Twitter (@learnguitar2).
