????ABOUT THIS LESSON
There are countless ways of play a scale, and I am not referring to the number of different scales available: Major, minor, pentatonic, melodic minor, harmonic minor, etc.
I am referring to all the different shapes of a given scale.
How do we even get started with this, and how do you know which scale’s shape works for you?
Some shapes are great for improvising. Others work better if you want to focus on developing speed and control.
In this video, I thought I would show you the different levels of a scale so that hopefully, I can help you figure out which one you need.
Classical shapes (Open strings).
Basic shapes (Noodling scales).
Vertical shapes (Modal scales).
Three notes per string shapes (Rock scales).
Symmetrical shapes (Technique scales).
All the examples will be done with major and minor scales. If you need, you can apply the same system to the other scales you know.

2:11 Basic scales.

????FAQs:
Are you a full-time YouTuber?
Yes, I am on YouTube as Marco Cirillo, and I promote my videos on BlitzGuitar.com. All the courses I post online are available on my Patreon page https://bit.ly/2rMAPYG.
How long have you been playing guitar?
I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old, so it has been more than 20 years. I have always loved fingerpicking guitar, so this is why all my tutorials focus on this topic.
Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon, I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for them. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a massive difference in the way I share my content 🙂
Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my YouTube channel started to grow, I decided to go all-in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert.

I played a classical C ! Thanks! Changed the playback speed settings to the slowest @ 0.25 and then was able to see how you walk up the 1st string with what fingers go where and now I can do that perfectly just like in the video! 1 day of practice!
Too speedy….no use….jhus showing ur skills
1:15 as a classical guitar player, i don't usually practice specifically that "classical scales", and neither my friends do. The classical guitarists I know, practice scales all over the neck, with left-hand shift positions. Moreover, why "classical scales"? I mean, apart from the open strings, what are other special and exclusive "classical" features they have?
It’s amazing how acoustical that guitar sounds
Maybe I missed part of the intro,
are we working on Major scales? Just basic major?
thank you Brother very nice video this video
Unrelated, but cute English/Español accent. Eres la leche!
I ???? ????????
great genuine guidance. thank you so much
My problem with scales is, having never been taught anything except the scales themselves, is how to make them interesting. You can only run up and down a scale so many times before your head explodes and you go find something else to do. At this point when noodling or improvising Im basically mindlessly, randomly running up and down the scales. Learning solos from popular songs doesn’t really help. When listening to professionals such as yourself it seems you guys know something I don’t and I cant for the life of me figure out what it is, the way you just throw in these beautiful, melodic sequences without even looking at your guitar is mind boggling to me. Every once in a while I’ll play something nice by accident but its pure luck and I can’t reproduce it on the fly. Im desperately seeking a solution for organizing my chaos.
Would have been really useful to have had the shapes on the fretboard?
They play WEED ????
????????????????
We can also call 4 the Lydian mode
Great lesson Marco Playing the C scale beginning on the different degrees of the scale is paying the Greek modes no?
ENORME cette version!!!!
I got a question: should we who play guitar need to read notes?
Just got recommended
è possibile avere la lezione in italiano ?
Scales are MEDICINE but Good Medicine and I give you my solemn word as a fellow guitarist AND your student to do practice them daily. Thank you for the lesson and Levels to study.
Ohhhh very beautiful scales brother ????????
But… why do I need to learn this, what's the purpose of learning scales, I would really appreciate it if you answer this one…. I am really confused right now ????
My friend where I can i by your books? Pleace let me know
Sir Marco, Please make a "fast fingerpicking excercise or techniques" tutorial like what u did on asturias-leyenda????????Pls. Pls.
Thank you!
Can you please do an informative video about all scales and provide them please ?
Scales should be practiced UP the fingerboard NOT across the fingerboard .
Complimenti come sempre. Corde 0.10 o 0,09 ?
Great video quality
Thank you
You are always great sir
But i want a tutorial video on your emotional guitar video
Please make a fingerstyle arrangement tutorial on any popular song and the way of arrangement so we can learn accordingly
He looks somewhat like henry cavill
