Scale Question

[Tristan Arnett]

I know my scales, but I don't know how to use them, help? Haha.

[Jim Broyles]

What do you mean by "knowing" your scales? If you know scales, how to use them kind of goes along with it. Honestly your question is like, "I know how to drive but I don't know where to go - help?"

pick up some written music you want to learn, next.maybe a tune you have a recording of to combine the 2?

I think this is sort of like saying: "I do a lot of weight-training and physical conditioning- but how do I use that when I play football?"

Play a song in the key of the scale you know and play the best. A song you have never played before.Then play a song in a key that you don't know the scale or at least not as well. Let us know if you notice anything :)
