How To LEARN AND USE EVERY SCALE
Here’s a short video series on the theory of scales. All scales. And there are a lot of them. Some internet sources say that there are something like 1500 scales. So many different sonorities exist out there, and we can use all of them. Each scale has its own characteristics - none of them are inherently normal or weird, and like everything in music - each of them are just a tool in the musician's toolbox. My goal for this video series isn't to teach you every single scale or even every single type of scale - but I do hope to give you a framework for *how* to learn every single scale. You know...if you need to.
I’ve also got a PDF Guide to go along with the series:
This guide was designed to help musicians rethink the way they approach scales. The major scale is often thought of as the “default scale” - but all of the scales are tools for a musicians toolbox. This three page guide will help introduce you to how scales are built, how to choose which scale to use, and how scales are related to one another.
This guide accompanies the four part video series on YouTube.
