    Here's some more fun ways to mix it up. They still move up or down the scale and follow a pattern.

                                              Now make patterns but don't bother making it go up or down

    Now don't worry about making it go up or down or making a pattern. Just let loose!

    Your turn
    Start with making some scale patterns out of the original scale. Be sure it is somehow a pattern and that
    the notes ascend or descend in pitch

                    Now make some fun patterns that aren't going up or down like a scale

                                                                                   Now freestyle solo some tunes with the scale

                                                                                                       Get a metronome to play along with or get a drum beat track on youtube to play along with.
                                                                                                       About 100-120 beats per minute

Why Beginners Always Struggle With Guitar Solos

More Scores Like This

More Than Tabs

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.
