But the answer is that a major scale & it's relative minor scale are the exact same collection of notes. So, the result is that you are playing the same notes. What matters here is the chord progression & melody. That's where my improvisation tutorials will help you!

[quote=gilouch0]Also lastly, are the links you sent me (music theory, guitar scales, ...) part of one of the experienced lessons rock-blues-country? Or are they somewhere else?
Those are great questions! No, the only courses are the Fundamentals & Style courses (blues, country, rock). Everything else is either a series of tutorials, stand alone tutorials or song tutorials.
The good news is that all the theory you need to know is contained in the context of each course. In general, your conceptual knowledge (theory) & your physical ability to play the guitar (practice) should keep pace with each other. The best way to do this at GT is to use one of the courses! The best part about using the courses is that you will learn the right amount of theory in the right order as you gain skills & practice applying those concepts, as you progress along in the courses.
It's important to keep your theory & practice levels close. Otherwise, you wind up being able to play a bunch of stuff, but it's unintegrated: you don't know what you are doing, or why & how to connect all of it together.
On the other hand, if you know some theory, but you can't actually play anything, then your knowledge isn't helping you at all. What good is a scale if you know all the letters, but can't actually play it on the guitar to make music?
Another option if you already have some skills, is to check out my older fundamentals course that starts with the basics of music theory: intervals, scales, chords, reading music.
It's a great, organized place to start learning theory also!

So, keep working through the courses you are interested in! They will show you what you need to know to play music in those styles. When you need more specialized knowledge or skills we can show you where those are! And don't forget to learn songs. :)
Hope that helps! Please ask more if necessary & have fun!
