## What is Learn Guitar Scale?

This simple guitar scale app gives you a more practical approach to learn guitar scales. Unlike usual guitar scale apps, this app displays not pitch names but scale degrees on the each note. It is important to know which degree the note you are playing has in order to play the great guitar solo, especially in jazz music.
I hope this app will help you step up to a great guitarist.
Here are some features of the app.

**CAGED mode**
- This is the first step to learn scales.  Learn the each shape of scales step by step.
- In this mode, scales are divided into 5 shapes, C shape, A shape, G shape, E shape, and D shape. This is well known as CAGED system that is a very important concept based on the shape of 5 basic open chords, C major, A major, G major, E major, D major.
- You can change shapes from the buttons on the bottom of the screen.

Vraiment nul aucun intérêt

### 5/5 — Great - easy to use, not complicated.

*2021-09-26*

Simple and to the point.  CAGED system for learning scales and modes.

### 4/5 — Looks good

*2020-10-10*

But I’m having a hard time navigating.  I can’t go from the scales to the table and back.  

I try holding ‘pentatonic minor’, for example, but don’t go back to the scale. 

But I really want to. Looks very helpful

UPDATE.  I figured it out.  I actually have to touch any other part of the screen to switch between screens.
