🎸THE GUITAR I AM USING IN THIS VIDEO
Since you ask all the time, guys, I decided to let you know which guitar I am using in each video. Today I have been using my Furch Yellow Master's Choice. (THIS IS NOT A SPONSOR).

🎸ABOUT THIS GUITAR LESSON
Practicing scales is such an essential part of any musician's life. The beauty of playing scales is that there are no rules on how we should approach them.

We can study the concept behind each scale (the interval patterns, note choice over chords, or the chords that come with it).

We can also completely ignore the music theory and play the scale in a position and memorize the sound of each note and how they fit over a chord.

Now, in this lesson, I am going to show you how to use both. We will approach the mechanical and technical way of playing the scale over a backing track and also the more creative approach using the scale to play a solo.

This exercise can be done on any guitar. I used an acoustic guitar, but we can do it on the electric or classical as the notes are the same.

We are also going to do it with the major scale only, and we are going to apply the major scale over different chords so that you have an idea of how it sounds.

In the first example, I am going to play the C major scale in seven positions. I will play the C major scale starting from each note of the scale. So, if the notes are C D E F G A B C, I will then play the scale starting from each note.

🎸FAQs:
Are you a full-time YouTuber?

How long have you been playing guitar?
I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old, so it has been more than 20 years. I have always loved fingerpicking guitar, so this is why all my tutorials focus on this topic.

Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon, I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for it. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a massive difference in the way I share my content :)

Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my YouTube channel started to grow, I decided to go all-in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert atm.

It will be an excellent idea to describe in the title of the video for what level of guitar is the video for, so us beginners don't waste our time just to find out that the video is for advanced players. Just making the world better.
