Hi Spenser!
I agree with Kris, learning how to use "any" would be quite a hard task. Also, no matter how much and how faster you can learn, if you don't use them frequently, the probability of forgetting them is quite high. Looking at the bands that you wrote, I already see a combination of minor, phrygian, drop tuning, etc.  Besides the particular advice that Kris will give you (regarding your musical preferences), I would also like to give you a few tips. 1. Because there will be a lot of information to learn, my advice is to focus and get used to each scale before going further. Understanding the sound and structure of a scale is important for applying it musically. 2. If you will play the scales up and down, it will soon become very boring and that's why I recommend you to make this practice more enjoyable. After you have learned the shape, play the scale starting from different points, going in different directions, play around with the notes in different patterns (notes sequence), different rhythm, etc. In this way, besides the fact that you will have more fun while learning, you will also create your own licks on each scale and you can incorporate them into your own style/music. The whole idea is, every time you learn a scale, to apply it in a musical context. This is the key to making the information stick in your mind. Every time you will hear a chord you will already have an idea of what notes you should play. In the end I will let you the link where you can find some awesome theory lessons made by Andrew: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=3351 |
