Introduction

 

Although these scales here are mostly beginner level scales, there are some advanced level ones, which are highlighted in red. As a general advice, you should always start with the beginner level scales, and then move on to the advanced ones.

I have made tutorial videos for three scales that might seem pretty unbelievable for the first time; these are the 1-4 fourth, the 1-4 augmented fourth and 3-4 whole note scales. These scales are certainly not for beginners, but once you have got the basics, try to play them on and on.
