Looks like just the sort of drop in thread I need.

Despite playing for almost 2 years now, I'm was a complete beginner in terms of theory until I read a few of Andrew's theory threads a couple of days ago. Everything was explained really well, but I'm still not quite sure how I should practise or play a scale.

For example:




If I was to learn that, what notes would I play, and in what order?



Cheers,

Jason

I think you should start on one of the root notes. Because if you start on the first note (bottom, left),
that'd be phrygian mode. But on your figure it's a major scale ("C" shape of the caged system).

The finger pattern is the same in both case. But depending on where you start, you're playing a different mode.

I wouldn't agree on that one.
You can start from any note actually,
it all all depends of Bass note or chord/chords.

Ouch,sorry for hijacking Ivan
