Now, let's look at consolidating Scales. This is never an easy task, there are many scales beyond the ones we've learnt so far.

However, the relatively easy Major Scale as a series of just 7 notes is crucial - Learn this through and through, fully understand it, back to front and you will thank yourself in future!

Major scale

• C major scale - all open position (Level 7)

• Useful to know: A natural minor scale (C major) - all open position (relative major/ minor scale/ key covered at level 8)

• G major scale - at least 1 octave and on 1 string (Level 5)

Major Pentatonic

• G major pentatonic - open position and 2nd position w/ slide (Level 4)

Minor pentatonic (blues and rock scales)

• E minor pentatonic - Open position and 12th fret

• A minor pentatonic - 2 octaves 5th fret

• A minor pentatonic - open position (same as C major pentatonic scale!)
