This is why you suck at guitar 28: You suck at learning scales!
Scales? What are those, something a fish wears on its outsides??? Nah man, they're the basic building blocks of all music, and most players SUCK at learning them.... well, to be more accurate, the way we are taught to learn them sucks. Endless numbers of shapes the memorize, none of them telling us what's REALLY going on inside a scale... all that does is keep you tied to playing PATTERNS instead of MUSIC!
But if you take Uncle Ben Eller here's advice and approach every scale 4 different ways, you're gonna be free as a bird and covering that neck in sweet sweet music. Lets go!!!!
