Okay my friend. We need to have a chat about scales! Scales are useful things to know, but knowing the scale patterns and knowing when and how to use them are very different things. So in the next few articles we’re going to take a look at various scales to help you determine whether you should be practising them. Then we’ll get into how you can use them to make music. This is my take on how it works, but those passionate about certain niches may disagree, and that’s fine - music is art and there are many perspectives. This is mine.
