This one's all about the second scale you should learn, your Minor Scale! Classroom Link: https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/classroom/f6dde16f?md=e2c696f37e5e44908460e45f4247c5f7 Learning your major scale first then minor scale sets you up for everything else the guitar has to offer. From building chords to lead playing these two scales will really get you some mileage. So, if you know some of your chords and can strum along with some songs, why not start learning a couple of scales! They're great for finger independence exercises and will be the foundation of anything you decide you want to learn moving forward in your guitar journey! Have a great weekend and I'll catch everyone next week! -Ben

Ever heard of "The Mahavishnu Orchestra"? There was this guy, John McLaughlin, that was totally ripping up the guitar scene back in '71. He was one of the pioneers of this scale and that's where it gets its name. The Mahavishnu Scale: https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/classroom/4000ef63?md=af36a049951f452399ecc66a7271e749 "It's essentially a pentatonic Mixolydian scale, but it's so similar to our minor pentatonic scale that the shape feels super familiar under the fingers." Jump on in the classroom and give this one a shot! This one's great for all you blues players out there, but us prog guys can get some real mileage out of it too! Hope the rest of your week is groovy! -Ben

Oh, and while I'm at it, how about a walkthrough for it too!

So strap on your Dorian shoes and go have some fun this week! If you're not a premium member yet, come join us!

Old hippie, who now wants to learn some real guitar. It went up in smoke in the 70.
