Notice the numbering system above the WHOLE STEPS AND HALF STEPS. This numbering system is referenced throughout all of our lessons and is important aspect of communicating the notes in the scale. Focusing on it's use in a rock guitar context, we are going to look at a few different ways to play this scale. We are than going to take each of these different approaches and play them in the styles of some rock guitarists that you already know. Our understanding of how to play this scale in these different ways sets a strong foundation for us to expand on this never ending concept. Make sure before practicing any of these examples that you refresh your knowledge of the notes on the guitar neck, as this is crucial to moving through this chapter effectively.
It is also important to note that the examples used in this lesson are not as broken down in explanation; as the focus is more on the scales themselves. The examples are more of a bonus to test your ability and demonstration. Feel free to try all of these when you feel you have a good grasp on the material.
