P.M. me with your E-mail addy and I can send you a powerpoint presentation that has the major, minor and pentatonic scale shapes laid out in some pretty simple fretboard diagrams you can then print out.

Why do you want to learn scales?
IMHO, there is no value learning scales for their own sake - sure, learn them as part of learning to play lead, but you have to have a reason to learn scales or they become b-o-r-i-n-g
Far better to to start by learning to play some songs. Then worry about leads and scales

Hi all,
I looked at the link and some lights may be coming on. Can someone explain the significance of scales? I have only been trying to play for a few months so I get a little lost (OK, OK I get a lot lost). Are scales finger/fretting practice or some clue as to the set of notes to choose from when playing a solo?
Are there general rules of thumb about notes that work together when playing lead or when trying to add a little pizzazz to solo playing (i.e. like the single note strumming patterns)?
Thanks,
Grump :evil:
