I know how you feel.
Have you ever felt “limited” or “boxed in” on the guitar neck...
Found yourself having to “think” too much when you play...
Or felt like your playing sounds “dull” or “mechanical?”
If so, you may be falling into what I call the Great Guitar Scale Trap.
You see, most guitar players who want to learn scales, begin by learning patterns…
And that’s the problem.
They learn “this” pattern...
“That” pattern…
That “other” pattern…
… The whole time thinking each pattern is a scale.
(The worst being the “minor pentatonic scale.” Everybody and their brother, from YouTube gurus to local teachers seem to shout from the rooftops: “Learn the ‘minor pentatonic’ scale!”)
And I just have to shake my head…
Because after 22 years of playing and teaching guitar professionally, recording multiple albums, and owning a private Guitar School…
Little do these well-meaning guitar players know, they’re being set up perfectly to make...
