Have you ever wondered how the great guitar players like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and others seem to pull off amazing guitar solos without breaking a sweat?
How they absolutely dominate the fretboard, shredding up and down and every direction with careless abandon…?
If they had to think about every single note they played, you’d see smoke coming out of their ears onstage!
The truth is, once you’ve learned a guitar scale pattern, you will no longer need to think about individual notes. Your brain kicks into a whole new dimension, and things that you previously had to agonize over now become as automatic as brushing your teeth. You’ll be able to compose new riffs and solos on the spot…
I know… ‘house pattern’ sounds pretty weird. But I could have just as easily have told you only that I’m looking at a house, and you would intuitively have known that it had a door, windows, roof, etc.
That’s because you’re familiar with the overall concept of a house, so I don’t even need to talk about the facts of the house!
The good news for us guitar players is that there are scale patterns all over the guitar. By mastering those patterns we can learn a whole chunk of notes all at once, rather than one at a time. In my playing, I mostly use only three main scale patterns that let me cover the entire guitar neck.
Then I take it a step further, and use a couple of connecting scale patterns to make them all flow together into one seamless solo.
Are there more patterns than this? Of course. There are probably hundreds of patterns on the guitar, and I don’t know of anyone that has...
