  Caged scale pattern question

  Posted by Travis D on January 21, 2023 at 3:06 pm

  Thanks in advance for your time and sorry if this question has already been asked. I’m going through the new fretboard wizard and I’ve memorized all of the caged scale patterns that Tony gave. My question is when should I start trying to learn the full scale patterns and where can I find them at? The patterns given on fw is the basic scale shape which has still been challenging enough to memorize I’m just wondering how I should go about learning the entire pattern for each position. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated thanks

  Hi @Tdean95 . The Wednesday daily challenge provides a scale to be used for the improv. Tony usually identifies the scale and the mode to be played.

  Some years ago I stumbled on this site. It appears a bit dated however it contains quite a bit of information and is organized fairly well. The “Fretboard” section contains some info on scales. https://hubguitar.com

  I hope that others post their go to sites and information.

  Hi @Tdean95 , I replied to your post yesterday, in great detail, using Wednesday’s lesson “Sweeter Spot” as an example, but it has disappeared, which is quite frustrating. I’ll not go into the detail that I went into originally, I’ll just give a short, blunt response.

  In FW2, we’re given the 1st octave of the CAGED moveable scale patterns – an individual major scale pattern associated with each chord shape in CAGED. We have also been given the tools from previous chapters of FW2 to figure out and complete the 2nd octaves for each of these major scale patterns. The tools are 1) the musical alphabet (CDEFGABC), and 2) the major scale formula (WWHWWWH). By combining these two tools, we can easily figure out the 2nd octaves without a diagram. Just MHO, YMMV.
