I took classical guitar lessons for 2 years and was taught to play reading sheet music.
He never covered scales by the time I stopped the lessons (thought I was coming down with arthritis).
I have since been teaching myself clawhammer banjo with help of some lessons online.
I see talk on this forum from people practicing scales.
Since I have been easily learning songs from tabs for the clawhammer style. I keep wondering what good practicing scales does.
Can anyone enlighten me?
