GuitarInstructor19, My Strat arrived Thursday and the amp came on Saturday. I've been playing with it ever since. My finger tips are thoroughly tenderized. <g> Sort of numb and raw but still playable. I've memorized the major chords A-G and have been practicing the Blues scale (pentasomething) for the key of A. I want to try to memorize that scale before moving on to the others. I'm rather clumsy in my chord changes and have a heck of time forming that confounded "B". "F" was giving me some trouble but I'm getting a little bit more consistant with it. Anyhow, I was wondering if I could pick your brain a little. Sort of like a long distance guitar lesson... What do you think might be the next blues scale I should practice? D? E? In otherwords, are there some scales that I'll be using much more than the others? And should I be memorizing them or just memorizing their basic rules as far as steps and half-steps? Any exercises you might suggest? I learned a very basic 12 bar blues riff and have been having fun with it adding my own little bits to it. Thanks for any help. Gotta run. -Clappy Any basic music theory you might be able to think of to help me understand would be appreciated...
