In this video, Scott gives you ideas about practicing the major scale in different ways, so that you begin to learn not just the scale in sequence, but the different notes in the scale, where and what they are, and how they are related to the chords in the key. You get exercises that show you how to practice the scale from chord tone to chord tone, chord tone to scale tone, in short musical phrases known as patterns or sequences, and more.

In the first session of Creating Bluegrass and Roots Music Solos, Scott gives you an overview of what he’ll be doing in the workshop and then talks about the wonders of the major scale, showing you all of the scales, chords, and arpeggios that can be extracted from the major scale, both as it is and with some minor modifications. He also talks about how basing your understanding of theory on the major scale will make it easier to grasp more advanced theoretical concepts, should you decide to go that route.
The musical handouts (downloadable PDFs) for the session (and all sessions) are available in three formats: notation with guitar tab, notation with mandolin tab, and notation only.
