Learn the Blues Scale with the One String Approach http://www.bluesguitarinstitute.com/ lesson40">http://www.bluesguitarinstitute.com/ lesson40 Scales confused me for a long, long time. There are definitely reasons for that and perhaps the biggest contributor to that is the fact that I would learn patterns without actually learning the scale. What I mean is that, learning where to place your fingers to play a box pattern on the neck doesn't teach you how the scale is constructed. At least not to most of us. Lately, I've become a huge believer in learning and practicing my scales using one string. This approach gets you moving up and down the neck (from the nut to bridge) rather than across the strings (from bass strings to treble). Practicing this way allows me to visually see an interval. The most basic, fundamental movement on the guitar. One. Interval. Playing up and down one string gives you this visual connection to the core construction of the scale and doing this has helped my playing in ways that I've only begun to understand.
