I was trying to learn some Theory along with the application, and did some reading on the Net. Because of my limited understanding, my question may appear a bit silly to the good and experienced players.
First, My current capability…
I am 49, playing since last 9 months. I am self (internet) taught, I am quite serious about guitar and I am happy with my progress. I can play 3 shapes of Pentatonic and 3 shapes of Major scale, at around 180 bpm quite fluently. I can noodle reasonably OK, in those spaces, but I have to search for chord tones while trying to improvise.What I was trying…
To memorize the 5 Pentatonic shapes and relate to the Major Scale.What I want…
To play melodically all over the fretboard.My question…
I was wondering… Why learn Pentatonic scale at all ?? It is a limiting scale.
I need to learn the Major scale, shift notes to learn Modes, and that covers the minor scale and that covers the pentatonic scale and sometimes I need to include some chromatic notes for flavour.Am I horribly going wrong somewhere in my understanding of scales and getting the big picture ?? Can someone guide me please 🙏🙏
