Re: Scale Question

if you're a beginner, you're probably interested in the EASY way to
make the magic. - well, you DON'T have to play a lot of notes real
fast (an insidious vision of guitarists, for some reason) - instead of
"machine gun" - think more like "artillery" - a few well-placed shots
gets the job done.

AND makes room for machine gun later on. Try playing like only 2 to
4 notes for each chord. being conservative at first lets you build
the energy -

most rock is VERY repetitious, so, next time around, cement it in, with
only a slight variation. next time a little more, - or maybe do two
copies of each version if you have a nice long song to "develop".
