Jazz Guitar Insights

Using Big Scales to Unlock the Fretboard (Ep. 77)


Listen Later

In this podcast, we'll look into an exercise that is relatively simple in concept, but that can go very deep (as far as helping you become a better improviser). The "big scales" exercise, so-called, deals with the entire range of the instrument. Start low, cover all the notes, climb all the way up. Then come back down! I challenge you to apply some big scales to your own favorite standard progression. See if you can keep playing the "right" scale (and change scales at the appropriate time) while your line keeps ascending/descending in the same direction. This is hard. You've been warned! :-)
