Playing the chords is one of the most primary things in learning the guitar. It is very much necessary and essential to learn to play the chords if you wish to be a guitarist. They can be considered as the absolute base of guitar learning. Major chords and Minor chords are the two types of chords. This article concerns scales, not chords. Scales are, in common terms, a union of chords. Read more about scales further through this article.

Like mathematics, scales have also certain rules which are to be followed for the correct operation. The combination of certain numbers make a series, similarly, the combination of certain notes or chords in the guitar makes up a scale. This can't be explained any simpler. Pentatonic scales, Major scales, Minor scales, Sharp scales, Flat scales, Chromatic scales etc are some of the varieties of scales.

Let us assume that you need to learn how to play an unknown song or a music piece which you heard. Once you get the knack of scales, it will be a cakewalk for you. Once you get to know more on scales and become good at it, you will be able to play any song you want. Once you get the basics, everything else is easy.

There are three basic factors which bring out good music- rhythm, melody and harmony. Without a good combination of these three, you could be worthless in music. In order to boost your capability in combining these elements and produce good music, learning scales is very much necessary. Many people who learn music and various instruments these days often forget this fact and do not produce good results- the standard comes down drastically. Without learning scales one cannot reach the heights one usually dreams of.

It is time for some instructions in learning the scales. Make sure that the guitar which you use is properly tuned and all the strings are in place. These things are said under the assumption that you know something at least about guitars. Tuning can be done in many ways- using a finely tuned music instrument like an electronic keyboard or even from various websites which gives the options for correct tuning of your instrument.

One should seek out the musical relationship in terms of pitch and sound between the notes and chords rather than just mechanically gulping down the names of the chords, scales and notes. After quite a while of practicing, one will certainly get this relation naturally. If you master it, then you are the master.

Scales are made up or composed using an array of chords. World-wide, it is the chord C Major which is taken as the base or standard in determining the scales. It is also called the zero sharp, or zero flat scale. Sharp scales, in their correct musical order, after C Major are- G Major, D Major, E Major, A Major, B Major, F sharp (sharp noted by the symbol '#') Major and C# Major. Flat scales, from C Major are F Major, B flat (flat noted by the symbol 'b') Major, Eb Major, A b Major, D b Major, G b Major and C b Major.
