How To Use Guitar Scales | John Mizarolli

Guitar Scales

As far as guitar scales go, a few serious sessions can teach you all the variations you need practically to play the guitar at peak level. There are only 12 notes in Western Music. 7 are Diatonic and 5 are Chromatic.

These sessions cover all you need to know about advanced guitar scales, substitutions and the theory related to chord scale relationships. Many aspects of music theory are demystified and put to practical use in a Rock & Roll context.

It is important to understand that the theory at this particular point does not mean laborious studying from books about guitar scales or listening to prolonged lectures, noting down pages of information and then learning by heart. Nothing of that kind! For John, teaching you the theory of guitar scales means that you will play hands on! To play the guitar as practice is what makes a master guitar player.

Chord Substitution

You may ask, how come you can call it Theory if a scale is something I play practically. Well, the theory of guitar scales is behind many exercises used in finger motor skills. You will learn all the theory of free-form jazz which does not mean you'll be a jazzer, but instead you will inherit a full color pallette of tonal variation to be used as required in any music medium.

All the theory is demonstrated on guitar and followed by practical exercises. If you don’t understand a particular section of the theory immediately, John explains it again in depth until you have got it.

Music Spirit Inspiration Healing

There will be no misunderstanding or hesitation to explain deep pattern levels of advanced music concepts. Everything you learn at these guitar lessons will have immediate practical application and be obvious to you on your own wavelength, the very same day – no need for revising, just play what you have to play at the lesson. This knowledge floats smoothly into your head and you feel at home in a sea of vibes. John reveals that guitar scales are not a difficult subject. What you need to learn is:

Fingerings
Scale Degrees
Scale Patterns
Fretboard Positions
Intervallic Chains

and you will become master of guitar scales. This may sound like quite a complex discipline but in in fact is only one of many things you need to learn. Don't think of this as a headache. When guided by John, the explanations about guitar scale construction and theory are a rudimentary level basic and should be a piece of cake. He has helped thousands of guitar students and there is no reasons why you should not be the next satisfied student.
