Uncle Tim's Diatonic Scales - Keys of C Major and A MinorThese are the most widely used scales anywhere. They are the foundation of western keys and the scales that all other scales are compared to. If you are trying to learn how to play scales, these should be the first ones you try.

Diatonic scales are the foundation of lead guitar for western music. They are the true mate to diatonic chords and together form many of the songs you hear on the radio.


One Signature To Rule Them All

Keys of C Major and A Minor ScalesThese scales are built on the standard formula for diatonic scales. Diatonic scales are spaced closed together so you have to work a little harder to get them to sound like a lead statement instead of a scale. But since they have seven closely spaced notes they are capable of great expression. But care must be taken to handle them correctly. At first they will sound like scales, but with work and attention to phrasing they can become very expressive melodic statements with great variety of sound. Seven notes allows them to escape the choppy sound typical of a pentatonic scale.

And when you take the time to really work with the scales, beautiful melody lines are within the reach of the budding guitarist. So this makes the diatonic scales a great place to try your hand at lead guitar solos.

But comparing the Diatonic and Pentatonic signatures you can open up an entire new level of theoretical thinking. Being able to look at key wide expression at a glance allows for a deeper understanding with greater uses at your fingertips. Visual pictures like this are easy, fast and complete. You can even reference these graphics in the middle of a song and then get right back to work. This visual framework work!


When you combine Pentatonic Scales with Uncle Tim's Diatonic Triads you create a big palette for song and lead line creation

Remember that in Uncle Tim's Diatonic Triads we are going to take this diatonic twelve fret signature and split in into four three string sets and start pulling out the chord progressions in the diatonic minor key. These are the standard triads used to build songs in western keys.

They set the stage for someone to lay lead lines using diatonic scales over chord progressions created out of diatonic keys. This is one of the most common variants found in musical circles for song creation today. You could call this the standard diatonic palette. Combine diatonic chords with pentatonic scales and diatonic scales and you have a full set of tools for song creation.

Diatonic Triad Cascades


All of Uncle Tim's eBooks are constructed using the Circle of Fifths

The Circle of Fifths

When you use any of Uncle Tim's eBooks you will always progress through each key by way of the Circle of Fifths. This is how music is created using a key based approach and these chords are created by applying the rules of theory to the key of C major using Uncle Tim's unique visual method.

The Circle of Fifths starts out with the key of C major and proceeds by building each scale. We progress through the same sequence when creating cascades based on the scale. This is a very good way to tie this information into other information about each key that you already know. So you can expand your knowledge and begin to tie everything together.

And these triad cascades offer excellent practice for finger gymnastics. They go nicely with scale practice too.
