I have been playing for years (and I'm not so hot).
I play most chords fairly well, but cannot for the life of me
interest myself in scales. I'm not so interested in knowing
scales, but want to be able to do bass runs & little riffs while
playing/singing. Well, it's not working. Do I have to teach myself
scales in order for my brain to just automatically know how
to do bass runs?
I've also heard that learning scales will improve the sound
of your chords...is that true?
If so, how do you make yourself buckle down and ARGH practice
scales?
Thanks, Laurie
