This helped me out a lot, never thought about just assigning the fingers instead of the frets

Hitting chords tehnique leson is important. For me, for example, is imposibil to understand when somone playing guitar, how can hit only two or three chords instead all of them!!, That's why i think finger-style is more accurate

I think this is the quantum leap I've been looking for. Eureka, nirvana, some musicality to an otherwise mundane exercise, thanks.

Richard May says:

Great stuff. Brilliantly explained.

ahh scales. No beginner wants to learn them but so critical to understanding guitar and playing anything really besides chords. When it comes to scales, i think one thing i like to stress when teaching is yes, forget the notes being played at the beginning, focus on the shape of the scale pattern, but also, perhaps even more important get familiar with how the scales sound in your head. Shapes of the scale patterns can change depending on location of the tonic note but when you know how the scale sounds you figure out the pattern shapes pretty easily without a diagram.
Also a great way i find to practice them is to play the first octave starting from 6th string of the scale ascending and descending and keep adding in one note at a time of the second octave while ascending in descending until you have ran through both octaves. Also, using language beginners can understand i find is very important, for example when asked to explain the concept of scale modes, using the Cmajor scale for example, i would first introduce the Dorian mode as going from Re to Re in the major scale rather than the D to D notes of the C major scale so without even having to understand a guitar scale or have a guitar in hand, they can understand the concept of modes, assuming almost all of us learned do, re me… in grade school.
