All the scales you need

Views: 8
Comments: 1
well for some reason U-G wouldn't post this but I'll post it here so people can still have it.

Okay, in my opinion people should have unstopped access to music,
 these are every single (to my knowledge) scale. I've listed them
 in the Key of C. They are all ascending but to descend just play
 it backwards (except for the Melodic Minor) and there may be one
 or two repeats. And if you are looking for a specific scale press
 Ctrl+F and type it in! 109 scales that you should have access to,
 it will help your hand and fingering *snicker* techniques :-P and
 writing some crazy awesome licks!
