What is a guitar scale?

236 views

Hi, i’ve been trying to learn music theory and there is a lot of things I don’t get.

Is a scale all the notes that sound good together? If so, why do some of them played together in the scame scale sound bad/dissonant? It makes no sense to me. Also, what is a key? Is it a group of notes/chords that sound good together? How do I start writing my own fingerstyle tabs?

I would suggest that you learn how to construct the circle of fifths. You don’t have to understand it or know its benefits. Spoiler you will learn how to identify how many sharps and flats there are in each scale but that is its least important use. Just learn to construct it. Secondly I would suggest using a keyboard to understand music theory better, anything will do, working or not.
