Exotic Scales For Guitar Pt.1 – Japanese Scales
This free video guitar lesson will introduce you to the incredible sound of exotic scales on the guitar.
You can hear this type of playing in players from Marty Friedman and Jason Becker to many jazz guitar greats.
In this video guitar lesson I will show you 5 different scales that comes from Japan. These exotic sounding scales can sound very unique and beautiful when used in the proper context. You will also find many of them contain quite a bit of dissonance which helps shake things up a bit with your creativity and sense of melody.
All of these Japanese scales are a subset of the pentatonic scale. They all contain only 5 tones each. It is important for you to create your won pentatonic scale shapes using the scale formulas for any of the scales that you like the sound of. The TAB PDF that comes with this lesson will have a complete scale formula breakdown for each scale. Grab the TAB PDF below.

Enjoy! Carl..
