scales patterns

[son-of-earth]

Hello everybody ....
anyone mind sending me different scales patterns that sound nice ...
it doesn't matter if they're easy , complicated , common or uncommon ...... as long is they sound ok ....
second thing .....it would be nice if you can tell if there r patterns who sounds better when played over a pentatonic scale ....and those who sound better over minor ,/ majour scales .....
thx all

[Joe Pass Jr]

I don't understand. Scale patterns that sound good over other scale patterns?

im sorry what i ment by the scale patterns is the sequence in which we play the scale .... like 123,234,345 etc ....forgive my misexpression ... as u all know english isn't my mother tongue

Well, for patterns you can go here (http://www.yellowguitarbooks.com/learn-to-play-guitar-THE-PRACTICING-GUITARIST/guitar-scale-fingering-diagrams.htm). They've got few in pdf format.

And if wanna know the order in which you need to play the notes, you can go to www.looknohands.com (http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/), and select "Guitar Room (Advanced)". It'll show you the scale you selected with either the note names or intervals.

Not so sure if this is what you are looking for, but maybe this can help.

That my friend is the $1,000,000 question and takes years to develop.

Short answer --- play the 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 (new octave)
1 sets the scale tone
3 sets the major or minor sound
5 is the dominant note in the scale, if you get the 1 and 3 the 5 could be omitted.
7 likes to take you back to the 1
9 normally just adds a little color.

Looking at the melody line you develop (the notes on the staff) should look like a wave or an incline not a saw tooth or straight line.

Move the melody in seconds (3-5-7). If you jump to a 6th (1-6) then come back a 2nd to recover(1-6-4). Don't be afraid to duplicate notes (two together) except you should not duplicate the top or bottom note in the wave.

Using this as a guide, go mix them however you like. Should mention skipping strings, that is perhaps the easiest way to start.

thx for all of ur replies guys ... but i think this is not what im looking for ....
what im asking for is a very simple thing ... it's like those sequences we use when we practice scales ..... like 123, 234, 345 and 1234,2345,3456 , and 132,243,354.... etc.....
i just want examples of them .... specialy those one who sound nice when played while improvising ........ that's all

Those that sound good when improvising. I just gave them to you.

If you are looking for licks to mix in with your scale patterns. Here is a cheat sheet, help yourself to any combination you like.

G Scale On Each String Or…
The fret location of G scale notes on the fretboard
Handy tool for making G licks – everything is in the G scale
5th, 7th, 12th, 17th, and 19th make good “home” spots – to start a new lick

e-0-2-3-5-7-8-10-12-14-15-17-19-20-22-24
B-0-1-3-5-7-8-10-12-13-15-17-19-20-22-24
G-0-2-4-5-7-9-11-12-14-16-17-19-20-23-24
D-0-2-4-5-7-9-10-12-14-16-17-19-21-22-24
A-0-2-3-5-7-9-10-12-14-15-17-19-21-22-24
E-0-2-3-5-7-8-10-12-14-15-17-19-20-22-24

For example: D string 0-2-5-7-9 then come back using the
G string................... 9-5-4-2 Notice the interval sequences G String 9 +2 +1 +2. etc.

To make your Licks in A just move the numbers over two.

See where that takes you.

Oh *I think* I get what you mean now....

You could also check out this article by Eric: http://www.ibreathemusic.com/article/131/4

Maybe that can help you. This article doesn't give you lick, but tells you how to practice scales using intervals and whatnot. Personally, I found that this technique has helped me making up licks.

@Malcom: I am so printing what you just posted. ;)
