basiclay means using every note in a scale, moving up in half steps u will have 12 notes --C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#A,A#,B then back to C an octave higher :D

The chromatic scale uses every note (12 notes, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, then it repeats...) on the guitar. So basically you could play it just by ascending 12 half steps (frets) up a string.

its really easy, if you are playing on the low E, its every fret until you get to the 12th fret, and then it starts from the beginning again, just an octave higher.

Example-
Open- E
1st Fret- F
2nd Fret- F#
3rd Fret- G


And so on up til you hit the 12th fret. Hope this helps :cool:

I love the way Petrucci throws chromatics into his playing. There're so many greats out there whose style I must cop.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
