I have been practicing one scale pattern up and down the fretboard. I use a metronome to keep a steady pulse. However, I feel that I need to start expanding my scale practice and I don't know how to.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Hi,
I'd like to suggest that you take a look at both Planetalk and Rosetta Stone of Guitar. Both are different ways of approaching the same problem - how to get away from the 5 box shapes and onto scales. I don't have Planetalk (there is a review of it by Nick - https://www.guitarnoise.com/review/kirk-lorange/ ), but I do have RSoG.
RSoG has one flexible pattern, which is related to the scale degrees (positions). Because of this, you are able to build any scale you want and move it around the fretboard.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

+1 for RsoG! Check out the thread here: http://forums.guitarnoise.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=39453
The more I got into it, the more I found how other scales that I already knew & used where already in the pattern.
