- Guitar scales are an important part of learning the guitar. In today’s video, we’re going to show you an awesome guitar scale exercise.
As you play the G major scale, make sure that your pick directions are alternating. Each down stroke with your pick should be followed by an upstroke. By practicing the closed position G major scale with alternate picking, you can begin to play the scale much faster.
For maximum effectiveness, use closed position scales for this exercise. This will give your hands a better work out and it will help you understand the fretboard.
Here's the exercise:
Play the first four notes of the scale. Then, start on the second note of the scale and play the next four notes of the scale. You should have gone one note higher in the scale.
Next, start on the third note of the scale and play the next four notes. Keep playing the groupings of four, and continue advancing up the entire scale. It might be difficult to play at first, but this scale exercise is a serious workout on guitar. You might be wondering how to play this scale exercise more accurately or quickly. Fortunately, Tony gives some expert advice on how to play this scale exercise on the guitar.

This is a great lesson, my Dad showed me this technique years ago I still practice it today. It can also be done with 3 note's or even 2 note's. Then change major,minor,pentatonic, arpeggios endless possibilities.
Great scale exercise! I do suggest starting at the top and practicing it descending as well.
What I like to do is play the choirs of the Do Ray Me song from the Sound Of Music. And then Joy To The World. It warms you up from both ends of the scale. Then pick a simple song like Row Row your Boat. And see if you can play it. Repeat in another key , but pick a different simple song.
Hello everybody
1st this video production is great. Locks very aesthetic.
I have two tips that I related with this beautiful exercise.
1.) I play the groups of four over two scale shapes to make it wide. For best results i DON‘T look at the fretboard. If one note I wrong I correct it by ear.
2,) Also very lovely is to play this scale in 3rds. Play the first note (3frt) then the third (2frt A string). Then 2nd and 4th note etc.
Cheers
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. It's a great help to beginners. Your efforts are appreciated. ✌🏻🇺🇸
I wish I would have had you as my teacher 40 years ago dude your amazing
Another way to use this. As you play each note, name it (G, A,, B, C ...). Ascending, then descending. I always find it harder descending; time to put an end to that. Then move up the fretboard and do it again with a whole new set of notes. Great way to learn the fretboard. I'm going to add this to my daily warmup.
I am a intermiditate guitar player and I do a ton of exercises and this is one of the best I learned. Thank you Tony for this exercises and the warm up to separate the fingers so called "best finger exercise"
This is excellent. I can't way to try, and apply it. Thanks, Tony!
Quadruplets! You can also do Triplets! Triplets are easier to do and may be the best to start with.
Watching your strumming hand has me realizing I've been doing the exercise with all down strokes. One more thing to work on. Great video!
These exercises are great. I've been working on the last one you posted and have increase my speed. Now I will work on this one.
Great little drill! Thanks Tony. Lots of great suggestions from commenters, too. I especially like Thomas Nowicki's: do it descending as well. I'm never as good descending as ascending. I bet 5 minute a day on this will fix that. Gonna find out, starting now.
As always Toni, great lesson. I just got a little better today. Thank you! Well done.
Awesome practice!!!
I really liked this lesson. thank you
I'm going to try this for sure. Thank you!!
Cheers buddy trying to play again after 20 yrs!
Hey stormthepitbull, Tony's Acoustic Challenge is exactly what you're after. A new exercise like this every day. Plus the everyday support of a great group of guitar geeks. Within months, you'll be playing at a much higher level than ever. I am not compensated in any way by Tony's Acoustic Challenge. I'm just a member and I've seen how much it helps those beginning or returning to their guitar journey.

Thank you Very much buddy I'll check it out 👍
Great exercise! I think at the end of the video a quick demo of the speed you can accomplish with this exercise would help us visualize our end goal!
Enjoyed this and what a great exercise..! I have tried similar patterns of this type and find this scale exercise to be easy (ish) to memorise whilst mellow and relaxing to repeat and not to much of a chore, Some can get quite repetitive and boring. Changing variety to a different scale pattern/key helps tremendously and also finding I am gaining bpm speed slowly but steadily..! Many Thanks Tony
Your helpful thanks for sharing!
Sweet drill Tony. This is going to my new focus on scale practise day. Going to see if I can extend the idea into my arpeggio practise day as well.
Really liked the speed building tip, I do that on & off... mainly on thing that I find harder, funny thing Is they end up sounding better than the easy pieces that I rush through. It’s a great tip and I’m going to stick to it.
And, oh yeah... thanks for the wicked video, and the time and effort you and your folks put into making them. They are very valuable to me and my progression as a guitarist.
P.S. remember that little Journey instrument travel guitar you reviewed? I bought one & I’ve just got back from a month cruising from Miami to Alaska...practised once a day, played three time a day every day for thirty days, drove my wife nuts. Not really, but she’s very understanding. Played in front of half a dozen on our friends who were with us, first time, very scary but fun in the end.
Cheers TimC.
This is just what i need to get a handle on scale dexterity. Thanks Tony. 👍
Hey tony, for acoustic Tuesday, I have a special recommendation, the player's name is Amin toofani he blows the guitar and plays very well, just search for his clip of song gratitude composed by him and it is his only clip on RUclips, pls see him once
Super fun exercise, Great warm up to! Thanks bro!! 🎸🎸👍

❤from🇰🇮🇰🇮🇰🇮Kiribati
So awesome.
I love it, thanks
Thanks for that awesome tip. I will play it as much as I can,when I have time to pick up the guitar.
Kool lesson!
Keep up the good work and continue to keep it simple for us struggling with the concepts.
That's the spirit. If I may suggest ... "when I have time to pick up the guitar." We can always find 5 minutes per day. That's enough time for Tony to go through this exercise 15 times, or do a couple of similar exercises 5 times each. Surely you can do it twice in 5 minutes right now. Do it today. Then do it 3 times in 5 minutes tomorrow, and keep building up the reps and the speed, but quit after 5 minutes. Pretty soon it will be the best 5 minutes of your day.
Thankyou for sharing, lovely.
🚩 Thanks so much, as always. Was looking for Download,?? Then saw you Wrote what to do. With my memory, I better wrote it down. Frustrating , forgetting!!
That is a good looking, and awesome sounding guitar. What are the specs of that preston Thomson?
Great lesson, thanks Tony
Very helpful exercise! Thanks for posting!
need to put tabs up
I'd like to understand scale charts. Does someone know a tutorial about this?
Thanks for the great tip!!
THANK YOU!!
Great explaination..sir can you suggest how to smoothen a rough fret board pls
I like this Tony you rock
Very helpful , thank you ! Brian .Northumberland .Uk.
I know I’m slow but you went to fast for as I got lost. Can you name each fret like 134 for each string that would help people like me that’s slow in catching on.
Can we get an instruction video on the patting of our own backs techniques. Much appreciated thanks.
idigmusictoo You didn’t enjoy this lesson? Too basic for you?
His voice and appearance makes him look like a viking!
How does this differentiate from the pentatonic scale?
👌👍
Ahhhh the zelda scale
I don't quite understand your metronome usage. You don't fret a note on the beat ?
He's playing eighth notes on the guitar while the metronome beats quarter notes. There are two eighths for every quarter note. You can set the metronome for eighth notes if that's easier. Hope this helps!
@@thomasnowicki5844 Thanks !
This can be tricky for beginners, or even intermediate players, who will more easily and naturally fret a note for each beat. However, if you persevere, and get used to playing eighth notes per beat, it really helps you to lock into the groove of any rhythm.
Own the scale? What does that even mean.
I hope everyone improves subconsciously, rather than unconsciously. 😬
