Major scale
While playing guitar there are many scales that experienced players improvise on. When you are listening to a rock song and the solo comes along, it isn't a jumble of notes. They are playing a scale. In this case, the scale is in the key of A. The red 2's are to be played on 5th fret and the red 4 resides on 7th fret. While you play this I urge you to stay in position. Position playing is when your first finger stays on the desired root. Here, on this scale you have to use your pinky. You might not be albe to play it fast at first, the more you practice the faster you play and the easier it gets.

Dream On
Last month, my high school put on a showcase that showed off the students' skills. My friend and I preformed the iconic song, Dream On by Aerosmith. Most would think we would be preforming in an auditorium or a gymnasium, not us we got to play in the hallways. I am happy with that. I don't have a lot of practice with preforming in front of a large audience, at best just a large class. Wen we played in the hallways there was only a group of 20 or so people listening. Not only is this one of my favorite songs, it is beneficial to learn on the guitar. This song helps you with your chord changes. since most of the chords require only three fingers to play it makes the song easy to learn and fun to play.
