Just as learning good grammar is important to speaking properly, Scales are important for a guitarist, .

If you are too curious on "playing" guitar then learning the language of music then we are here to help you in every aspects.From my own personal and teaching standpoint, Chords are the starting point of learning guitar.Chords are nothing but just words.

When you were a child you were taught "mum" , "dad" and so on -you might learn chords A, C, G and D.These chords are sufficient to learn guitar.As you start playing guitar your curiosity in learning other chords like Em, G#, Am, F# ....also increases. And we are here to help you know these things..

Well that's where SCALES comes in. The alphabets of the chords you play are the scales. They can set the tone. By knowing these alphabet, it allows you to add twiddles and trinkets to your rhythm work.Knowing scales you will know Flat tune as well. All this KNOWLEDGE of SCALES allows you to set the mood and tone of your playing. Various styles like Blues and Jazz and Latin all have their tones and styles completely defined by the SCALES that are dominant in their music structure.
SCALES helps to understand; the ability to know and recall relationships between notes; this leads towards understanding the relationship between chords and how this sets an emotional mood; this leads towards understanding good composition and song writing; this leads towards good technique and more interesting rhythm work; this leads towards a roadmap for soloing and knowing various melodies to play over the right chords at the right time; this leads to complete mastery of the guitar.
