| I like your work, it looks and feels awesome. However, I would argue that you should be very careful while using it. And here's why. I've been playing guitar for 10 years, and I had two teachers, one of which was a blues/rock/jazz improvisation teacher. I used to draw scale diagrams, and use some pre-drawn diagrams as well. But for some reason I could easily improvise cool melodies in pentatnoics, but I had hard time with all other scales. I stopped trying to learn improvisation despite my teacher's desperate attempts to make it work for me. And then I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkaqfgSqtHg It's a short video by Guthrie Govan, easily one of the best guitarists in the world. And what he says that conventional method of learning scales is bad. Essentially, what he offers is to learn to add notes modes to pentatnic scales. And now I use that approach, and my playing is much more melodic and musical. It's a pity that I found the video way too late. |
