My First Scale, Is it real? Options

[Phil66]

Hello everyone,

OK another question. My first guitar teacher showed me the scale in the TAB below. My second guitar teacher said he had never seen it before but "don't throw it away, you never know when you might need it!

Now I have tried to read about scales and some theory and to me it doesn't seem to be a scale in the true sense of the term "scale". What is it, is it usable, how would you theoretically explain this this "scale"? The reason I'm asking this is because of what my second teacher said. I've always pondered it and he didn't elaborate on it when I asked.


"Scale in the key of A"

|-------------------------------6-7-8-----|
|-------------------------6-7-8-----------|
|-------------------5-6-7-----------------|
|-------------5-6-7-----------------------|
|-------5-6-7-----------------------------|
|-5-6-7-----------------------------------|
