It s not as difficult as you may have been lead to believe. By using some basic examples for comparison, you will quickly begin to get the feel of it and start moving around the neck rather freely. You will learn how to take a basic solo and move it anywhere you wish. For me, this is the most exciting part about playing music. Whenever taking a break with the band, your solos are never quite the same and you never play it exactly the same way twice.
Scales are simply tools, like the brush and paint of the artist.
There are two kinds of painters. One that looks at object or some scenery and copies it to the canvas. The second one has nothing to see with his eye as a reference but with his mind s eye creates the image from what he's feeling inside or visualizing with his mind. In a similar way, we will do the same thing, but with sound. The program material for this series is mainly suggested by my students, locally and online.
