That's what gets my goat every time. He obviously knows his scales and uses them. But yeah, scales are just one small part of a very large picture. I do think he 's doing harm by encouraging new players NOT to learn their scales.

Yes, maybe this is his way of saying 'buy my album'! laugh.gif

However - he has a very strong an needed point given how a majority of guitarists approach practicing. I don't really take him literally though - I think he does see some use in scales. But it seems many guitarists see scale patterns as a path to music - which it really isn't. It is merely a visualisation tool - and not necessarily the best one.



I'm starting to think the same smile.gif Just marketing hype to make his name go viral in the guitar community. Saying inflammatory stuff, every year and saying the same stuff and it works every time smile.gif
