Hi everyone. I made my way through the fundamentals but i'm still focusing on scales.[br]I know the formula to create major scales but I still find a bit confusing to figure out how many octaves there are on the guitar fretboard for a given scale (let's say from fret 1 to 12).[br]I can play 2 octaves for a specific pattern, but then i get confused knowing that i can play the same notes in a different position on the neck...a problem I don't have when I do this on the keyboard for example. [br][br]Is there any specific lesson about it I maybe missed out ?[br]Or should I just memorize the different scale patterns? So far I've been working them out by learning the position of the notes on the neck, instead of learning specific patterns.[br][br]Thanks in advance!
