What scales to play bluegrass lead guitar? We'll have you covered on that also...we have high quality bluegrass guitar scale charts in every key so you can learn how to play lead guitar and know where the notes are coming from instead of just memorizing licks. All great stuff for playing country & bluegrass lead guitar up the neck in any key.
