Scale Information

I'd say the major and minor pentatonic scales are the most popular scales for rock, blues, country and folk styles of music. They are easy to play and easy to make sound good or fit when making a riff or a solo with them. Next in popularity is the major and relative minor scales.

Scale Information

I like any of the keys that have the notes B and E in them which are the 2nd and 1st strings open. I like all the keys. The ones that are a little tricky to play in are Ab, Db, and Eb.
