How to Read Scale Diagrams For Beginners

In today's Total Beginner guitar lesson we're going to look at how to read scale diagrams on guitar for beginners. When I first saw scale diagrams years ago when I was teaching myself how to play guitar, I was confused as heck. I didn't know what to do, or where to start, or how I was supposed to play all those notes at the same time 😂 So today, I'm going to try to make learning how to read scale diagrams simple for you so you don't have to go through what I did.

 

Hey guys, I'm Brad Litton, guitar teacher from SimpleGuitar.com, & this is another guitar lesson for total beginners. Reading guitar scale diagrams will apply to playing both acoustic guitar & electric guitar. Learning scales for guitar is one thing that you'll need to do when learning guitar, so I hope that this video makes that easier for you, that's my whole goal for Simple Guitar.
