9. Select “Up & Down” from the “Direction” category.
10. Click on “Play” or press the “S” key. This time the scale is played up and then returns back down.
11. Select “Skip” from the “Patterns” category.
12. Click on “Play” or press the “S” key. The scale now skips notes and fills them in. You may want to watch this one before playing along.
13. Return to the “Menu”.
14. Select “Songs” and choose “Blues in C”.
15. Click on “Start”. Choose "start on root" and then click “Play”. You will then hear and see the Scale Trainer play all the arpeggios for the blues in C starting on the lowest root. This is a great way to practice for improvising on the blues! Feel free to play along.
