I've been trying to find a place that has the tabs for the basic scales that would be used in bluegrass and maybe even in some jazz or blues mandolin. I don't need anything fancy, just the basics.

I've found many books of scales and chords that can be purchased. I don't need all that and I find it difficult to believe there can be royalty issues for posting scales. If royalties are an issue, I'm going to hurry and copyright the alphabet!

Does anyone know of a web site that would have just a half dozen or so most basic scales for mandolin?

You could build your own using this as a template...


I hope this helps.

Don't let the Jazz moniker scare you off:

The four basic patterns listed, are all I use. You can move them up and down the fretboard and string them together.
