Where can i find scales?

[Phunky]

Where on the internet can i find scales? It would be a plus if it's in swedish!

[Aaron Saunders]

Not in swedish, but www.activebass.com has a huge scalefinder.

Swedish Scales can be found on Swedish Fish, OF COURSE!

Go here: http://www.famousfoods.com/c-swed.html

Also, Veruca Salt sang a song about Swedish Fish:

"Swedish Fish"

Green or red, good night, remember
Green is best, of all the flavours
go ahead it's only water
I love my swedish fish [x3]
he's my secret wish
talk to me, I need attention
tell me all of your confessions
tell me if I cease to mention
I love my swedish fish [x3]
he's my pisces gift
and I'm never coming back
I am too far gone
won't you be heading this way before too long
im holding to you
I love my swedish fish [x3]
he's my secret wish
I love my swedish fish [x3]
he's my favourite gift

Hope this helps (maybe a little, anyway... )

Study them a little, Man.. See? the numbers are frets and the vertical lines are strings. The grey dot is the root of the scale, the blues are other notes for a one octave complete scale in that neck position - starting from the root. The whites are all the other places that notes in that scale come up. The 'single-string' one just shows the straight 'spacing' (intervals) from note to note, starting from the root (notice the top fret is not the nut in this case - it's just arbitrary, starting with the root).

Thanks for those, Kiwi. I'm studying them!

Not too much - you linked to the piano page; if you go to one of the two guitar pages, it shows you a regular neck-diagram.

Nice!

Thanks for the link!

No - I didn't mean 'not too many chords'; I meant that you don't have to be that 'familiar with music', as you said, to use the site, if you use the guitar-neck version of the site.

That place is cool, huh?!

Totally agree. Wish I had known about this excellent site long before now.

Y'know - looking at those charts makes me think of how I've been more and more looking at (I mean picturing in my mind) scale patterns in groups of two and three positions, instead of being locked into one position and then having to 'switch gears' when I move my fretting hand to a different one. thinking that way is really giving me a more intuitive insight into harmonies; it's easy to picture thirds, fourths and fifths when you're thinking in terms of three scale position patterns at a time. Also I find myself (relatively) smoothly sliding notes up and down between the different positions more now. I sometimes even hammer a note on the same string that's sounding, but at a position higher up the neck, rather than conitinuing over a string or skipping a string for a higher note (that looks cool too...).

"Oh, so he's just trying to impress people" - of course I am! I want to be a performer.
