Welcome to the A scales section of the Eat Sleep Guitar Repeat Guitar Scales Library. Here you will find scales in the key of A. For each different scale you’ll see a large chart that shows you the location of all the notes in that scale on the fretboard. Below the main chart you’ll see a set of shapes or patterns or modes. These break down the main chart into smaller sections which will help you learn the scale all over the fretboard in an easier way. Look at each pattern or mode and find it on the main chart. The main chart is simply all the shapes merged together into one. Study the main chart and the shapes closely and you’ll soon see how the patterns link together. These shapes remain the same no matter what key you’re in so become familiar with them. It’s only their location on the fretboard that changes and this happens when you change key. Learning the shapes of a scale in 1 key means that you can play that scale in any key.
