Lesson 3 - A Minor, Segovia Scale

In this lesson, Steve will demonstrate the A melodic minor scale, before breaking it down, step-by-step and instructing you exactly how to perform it.

He talks about sitting position and techniques and the importance of these.

Steve will also teach you that when you have begun to grasp the basics of scale playing, you should experiment with different rhythms of playing in order to test yourself and challenge your ability to stay correct with your fingering.

  Skill Level: 1 Runtime: 5 mins  
  Lesson 4 - G Major, Segovia Scale
Lesson 4 - G Major, Segovia Scale

The G Major scale is a very beautiful scale and is very widely used by both classical guitar players and even rock guitar players.
