This is video three of the Lead Guitar Quick-Start Series. In this lesson we will cover the Major Scale, which is the foundation for other scales we will be learning later in this series. The major scale is a seven note scale, and the major scale shape covered in this lesson is played over two octaves.

First you’ll learn how to play a basic major scale shape and then you'll have a chance to use it over a simple jam-track. It's important to memorize where the root notes are, so you can emphasize them in your playing.
