Once you get them, it'll all click into place. The difference between a minor and major scale is that the 3rd note in the scale is flattened in a minor scale (hence moving down one fret on that note). Apologies if you knew all that and I sound like a dick :)

Apologies if you knew all that and I sound like a dick :) Too... much... theory... If you know the notes in normal tuning, and you know the A minor and A major scale you can basically figure out the rest. That's how I learned scales, never bothered to learn chords. The only scale I bothered actually looking up is the harmonic minor, which I hardly use (only if I feel like outplaying Yngwie).

The prospect of learning them is daunting, and relatively unnecessary when you have the ability to just play around and mix by ear anyhow.

That remains my major stumbling block.

You're probably twenty times better than I'll ever be, so never mind me, hehe. Gildermershina wrote: Yes, all this theory is all well and good, but my technique is sloppy, and I have almost no ear for melody whatsoever. That remains my major stumbling block. If you practice enough you'll get there. Just start off with learning the A minor pentatonic scale, that'll help a lot.
