Q. should I learn scales? (beginner at acoustic guitar)

are scales used in music like chords are?
what are scales used for?


Answer
Scales are sequences of consecutive notes, usually one of each letter name, modified by flats and sharps. In most music, they're the main source set of the piece -- all the notes in that key (not counting accidentals).
Chords are superimpositions of pitches that sound good together, usually in 3rds but sometimes 4ths. They can be played sequentially as well (as arpeggios, one note at a time).

Every melody, guitar solo etc. uses scales. Think of scales as being the horizontal element of music, chords the vertical. You have to do both to finish the crossword puzzle of music.

I started playing acoustic guitar a few weeks ago and I'm looking for an electric guitar. My price range is between $800-$1000. I also need a good amp too but i don't have a clue what the best brand names are. I love Van Halen and Joe Satriani type of guitar style. Please help! THANKS!!!!


Answer
Hmm theres a loooot between 800 and 1k. you can get a gibson les paul junior with 1 pickup thats a p90. you can get a good esp. you can get a gretech eletromatic which is a hollow body for about $700. you can get a very nice jackson randy rhodes with gold hardware from about 700-1k. if you feel like spending 1500 you can get a parker fly which weighs like 5 pounds and plays like a beast. you can get fender telecaster, stratocaster, jazzmaster, for like 700-1200 for a usa. i wouldnt buy a MIM strat or japan. as they cost about 300 and will not be what ur looking for. you can get a vintage gibson melody make for about 1k. you can get a niceee gibson sg standard for about 900. you can get a faded sg special for about 600. you can get an epiphone black beauty for about 800, its very nice 3 pickups, all gold hardware.
for amps you can get a combo amp, a tube amp. if you want to buy a $200 guitar and get an orange amp a 15 watt head and 15 wat cab will run you about 1k but it is around the nicest amp on the market. i have an ibanez tone blaster 50r.i payed $50 on craigslist, but in stores there like 200. its very nice and can bpleasea crowd of about 1000 people on volume 5 of 10. if you want a good amp that you wont eve need to change, just get a marcial halfstack. hope i helped.
