There are literally dozens of scales that cover every possible combination and permutation of the 12-tone-chromatic scale. For every beginning guitarist that shouts “Eurika! A New Scale!” there’s literally a hundred other guitarists that shouted the same thing while hundreds of years of musical literature collect dust.

Knowing the scales that already exist will not limit you unless you LET them. It’s like a cookbook — the recipes are there for STARTING POINTS.

Well considering everyone is so overly concerned about “staying in key”, I personally think going out of key isn’t such a bad thing. It adds uniqueness, and the people that say you have to stay in key always are music theoriest. It seems to me the only people that really care about the theory behind music is people that devoted their lives to learning the theory of it. But here is my theory, a theory is just a theory. It is not a fact. When they come out with music fact, then I might care.

Damn straight. Music theory is where it all is.

because you play an instrument right? and you know everything about music right? shutup, this guy is a great player so obviously, he knows what he is talking about. Go ahead, learn from the book and sound like everyone else, idiot.

yes!

Jess i luv learin theory yor rite

+1 WOW…I can’t believe my ears.
“Don’t learn scales. Just blindly waste hours staggering around and randomly trying notes until you end up playing ‘your own scale’ that you could have learned in 5 minutes and that already has a name that you have NO idea what it is.”
Not only that, if you take the LITERATE approach to education you can understand WHY and WHEN it works AND be able to discuss it with other musicians.
WOW, just WOW! Goes to show you, Don’t believe everything you hear!!!

Marty is soulless, boring player

Kirk Hammett > Marty in technique and playing with feeling

once you get comfortable with ur scales and theory your fret board looks like a tetris pattern and you can see all the scales jsut by looking at ur fret board

It’s awesome when you realize you been doing this naturally since you started playing. I could never use all these scales and shit, I would maybe just base it off a sound, find the notes, then just build a lick off of it. Makes more sense, also makes it where you can get exactly what you want just by going off of your ear.

thank you for saying that, i’ve recently got the idea to become a bass teacher because i know soooo many bassists around my area with the same small minded logic, and they want to sound good and they think they’re there already, and they like ignoring how make things simple (with theory). If not, too bad for them and yay me hahaha

3:19, Love how his mood changes so fast.
