  • There are several good reasons to practice scales! In addition to being a good finger workout and a part of your lead guitar vocabulary, they also help you map the neck, apply some practical theory, and train your ear. Here's a great way to practice scales that incorporates all of these, using two different fingerings.

    After looking at dozens of instruction videos, I finally found a instructor I can learn from. Thank You!!!!!!

    I'm one of those who learned to play the C scale from C to C and back again, repeatedly and as fast as I could - but seemingly without a goal other than to mechanically play the scale more efficiently. Today, this lesson exposed me to the ideas of (1) slowing down; (2) focusing on each individual note within the scale; and (3) recognizing that (and how) the sound and finger position of each note relates to the sound and finger position of each other note in the scale - all with the simple purpose of being able to create more harmonious sounds - music.
    Thank you David for such a valuable lesson. I have subscribed to your channel and now am going back to fingerpicking Landslide with your video.

    A loud sound just echoed through my house. It was my palm hitting my forehead. You have helped me understand, for the first time, intervals. You're a great teacher.

    The more I watch your tutorials, Dave, the more the guitar is making more sense! I'm a 'silver haired' player of 3 years but only now am beginning to study the guitar even though my 'mentor' has been banging on about it for 6 to 12 months. Thanks Dave.

    When do you anticipate releasing your scale series and is it similar to the one by Andres Segovia? Thanks

    • @NashvilleGuitarGuru
      @NashvilleGuitarGuru  6 років тому +3

      The Segovia scales are a series of fingerings more than a comprehensive method. As far as classical guitar I think the Aaron Shearer scale supplement is a great resource. I do still plan to put something together, it's in the "development" file...more to come!

    Great lesson but your wavering left fretting hand is distracting. Just a suggestion. Plat the fingering without waving your fretting hand. 👍

      He's using that technique to achieve vibrato.

      @ChipBee123 4 роки тому

      So your vibrato is already perfect? Why not work on it during practicing your scales? Try it.
