Scales are very very good explained and it can give you some insights and ideas what to practice. Off course if you haven't practiced scales before, i suggest the usual - A minor pentatonic in all positions for starters. Keep us updated of your learning experience, so we can help you even further. Thanks! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

There really aren't that many: If you learn the minor pentatonic scale and the major scale, you're almost there. Change a note in each pattern and you've got harmonic minor, change two and get melodic minor. If you learn the minor pentatonic, major pentatonic is learnt as well (just shift the positions). Learn the major scale in the five CAGED positions (and you will notice that the pentatonic scale fits right into that) - and play them all the time. When you know it by heart, and played the modes (dorian, phrygian, lydian, ...), learn the harmonic minor scale. Almost identical to the major scale boxes. And the fun begins.

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.
