Jeff PurtleGUEST
I can't play anymore.
Jeff PurtleGUEST
And my first question was like, well, what do you practice? What are you doing? What's your day like? What do you start with? Scales, etudes, whatever.
Jeff PurtleGUEST
And he was like, oh, I do like buzzing, and I do long tones.
Jeff PurtleGUEST
And then he was – we already talked about a lot of this stuff, and he wanted to start.

Jeff PurtleGUEST
So with tongue level, I might say, okay, we've got like – things that stay in the same partial, like Smith or colon or irons, where you do it all in like open or second valve, then you'd have like lip trills and then you'd have wider intervals.
Jeff PurtleGUEST
And then you might have like expanding things like you have in Arban where it's like, you know, it's like getting wider, but that's all tongue level.
Jeff PurtleGUEST
Then you might have like, Scales.
Jeff PurtleGUEST
So within scales, you'd have chromatic to major scales.
LeeHOST
Why is this important? Well, it connects the things that you already play.
LeeHOST
Scales, these become more than just patterns.
LeeHOST
You can locate the root notes.
LeeHOST
You can start understanding the notes inside the pattern.

Jillian BrandtNARRATOR
A scale, from scala, a Latin word meaning ladder, or German, Tonleiter, is an ascending or descending series of tones progressing according to some definite system and all bearing, in the case of tonality scales at least, a very intimate relation to the first note, the key tone or tonic.

speaker_1GUEST
And it gave me such an appreciation for different ways of creating music, different melodies.
Bruce MooreHOST
Scales.
speaker_1GUEST
Scales, yeah.
speaker_1GUEST
And I mean, I didn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but...
speaker_1GUEST
You get the feeling, you get the vibes.
Shen TingHOST
My younger brother and I carried our rattan chairs to the backyard to cool off.
Shen TingHOST
天空好像一盏伐了油的灯，红光渐渐地减弱。我把眼睛守定西天看了一会儿，看见那光一跳一跳地沉下去，非常微细，但又非常迅速而不可挽救。正在看得出神，似觉眼梢头另有一种微光，渐渐地在那里强起来。回头一看，原来月亮已在冬天的竹叶中间放出它的清光。院子里的光景已由暖色变成寒色，由长音阶变成短音阶了。门口一个黑影出现，好像一只立起的青蛙，向我们跳将过来。来的是弟弟的同学华明。 The sky resembled an oil lamp running low, its red light gradually fading.
Shen TingHOST
I fixed my gaze on the western horizon and watched as the light flickered and sank, subtle yet swift, irretrievable.
Shen TingHOST
Just as I was absorbed in this sight, another faint glow seemed to emerge at the corner of my vision, growing steadily brighter.

Dave DeitkeHOST
What makes a good bass line? So...
Luke FlakerGUEST
I'm a bad bass player because the right answer is scales.
Luke FlakerGUEST
Scales is the perfect answer to that question.
Luke FlakerGUEST
I'm really bad with scales.
Luke FlakerGUEST
I never learned them as a kid.
LeeHOST
Uh, t- today, we're gonna be talking about scales a little bit more.
LeeHOST
And when you talk about scales, it's very deceptive because it's not just scales.
LeeHOST
Scales give you your chords.
LeeHOST
Uh, scales allow you something to use rhythmically, right? So we're actually at the basis for everything.
LeeHOST
At some point, almost every guitar player that's developing looks at the different scales they're playing.
