Description

This tutorial series will introduce the beginner guitarist to the concept of systematically practicing scales using a metronome. The C major and minor scales will be used. Four patterns will be used as examples of a systematic practice method: up and down, in 3's, in 4's, and pedal point. Use of the metronome is stressed as crucial for proper practice and development. While this tutorial is primarily written for beginners, experienced players might benefit from this detailed method of how to practice scales.
