How do I know when I have learned a musical scale well enough to move on?

admin — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 03:14:27 +0000

I am learning guitar and I am wondering if it is speed or recall without looking at the fretboard that I need to be concerned about. The only two scales I know at this time are the Blues scale and the C Major scale. I am trying to better format my training so that I don’t move on to something else before I have really learned what I wanted to in the first place. I have learned some songs only to forget how to play them after I have moved on. Bookmark it: Read more...
