GMC Forum _ Introduce Yourself ! _ Hi From Canary Islands!

Posted by: popescu Nov 15 2008, 06:20 PM

Hi guys, im new, and im glad to join this group of guitarrists.
I´ve been playing for 6 years (im 22), by my own. Now feel that i need help to continue improving my guitar skills, so i registered here. I hope you can help me.
One important point is that i don´t know music language, i just play with tabs.

I have an Ibanez RG, and a Yamaha APX-3 (acoustic). I have also a drum and a Bass guitar (Squaier), but what i like most is the guitar.
(i forgot to say that i have a boss me-50)
I would like to improve more scales to be able to do better improvisations. Right now i just play with pentatonic, mayor and minors scales. If anybody here can give me a link with scales topics, it would help me a lot.

Thank you, and nice to be here!

Hi, welcome to GMC. It's good that you can improvise with the major, minor and pentatonic scales. If you want more stuff to solo with, just extend your pentatonic scale to the highest fret, add a minor 3rd, and shred over it. And I reccomend you check out the sight reading course on the GMC forum. Reading music will allow you do so much more.
