    A full step is going up two notes. A half step is going up one note.
    Major chord scales always go root, full, full, half, full, full, full, half
    G Major Scale                                                                  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1
    A                         F#                                                   Scales can be played in different places and still be correct. For example you have the G scale above
    G    B    C          D    E         G     A    B    C    D     E    F#   G     that can also be played like this: or
e|----------------------|--------------------|--------------------|0----2----3----|--------------------|
B|----------------------|--------------------|-----0----1----3----|---------------|--------------------|
G|----------------------|---------------0----|2-------------------|---------------|--------------------|
D|----------------------|0----2----4---------|--------------------|---------------|--------------------|
A|-------0----2----3----|--------------------|--------------------|---------------|--------------------|
E|--3-------------------|--------------------|--------------------|---------------|-----3----5----7----|

                                                                              BUT, when playing open chords it is difficult to tweak your chord around notes that are higher than the 4th fret
                                                                              so try to keep your scales low
                                                                              Assignment:
                                                                              Write the C major scale below (2 continuous scales making 15 notes)

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.
