We CAN make a diffrence!
If you want a good understanding of them, start here - Basic Music Theory. It is a quick read.
Then, Scaling The Heights. This one will really get to the heart of it all.
simply a scale is a series of notes with specific spaces between them so they sound a certain way.
we all know scales:
do re mi fa sol la ti do.
that is a scale.
check out the lesson and music theory intro areas. that should explain things.
at your stage of playing just think of them in the easiest terms.
