In this lesson I go over the major scale pattern, and how to use it to make the root chord of a key. Becoming familiar with the major scale will help you learn to play in less time, understand what you are playing, make more chords, give you a foundation for playing lead, give you a foundation for writing melodies, and make you a better musician in general. Spending some time studying this will really help you progress as a beginner. It can also improve your playing if you are starting to learn to play some lead parts.
