Free Video Guitar Lessons: The Tritonic Scales

Hi, I'm Rowan Casey, and in this free video guitar lesson, I will be teaching you how to play the tritonic scales on the guitar. A tritonic scale is basically made up of the notes of a major, or minor chord. For example, the A minor tritonic scale would have the notes A, C and E, all over the guitar. The A major tritonic scale would have the notes A, C sharp, and E, all over the guitar. These minor and major chords can sometimes be hard to play in a scale as separate notes, but if you take a look at the video guitar lesson, I will show you the best fingering for the tritonic scales. They are basically the same notes that you would use when playing a E-based, or A-based minor or major chord, with a few small variations.

The scale continues up the rest of the guitar, and so it is quite different playing the notes in the chord separately, as opposed to all at the same time. Tritonic scales are especially good when it comes to tapping, and my next free video guitar lesson will be about tapping with tritonic scales, and other scales as well. There is a lot of tritonic scale tapping in metal solos.
