A Minor Wave Ride
VIDEO
By the end of this week, you’ll be playing a classic instrumental tune from The Ventures, and today’s exercise sets up your success for each step along the way.
Today, we’re kicking off with something that might seem simple but is more valuable than it appears. We’re digging into the A minor scale, but it’s not just about hitting the right notes. This is all about learning proper finger placement and mastering the art of relaxation. When you get these basics down, you’re building skills that will elevate everything you play in the future.
This scale is a great long-term warm-up, no matter your level. As you keep practicing, you’ll find it’s a fantastic way to check in on your technique.

I thought this was simple until I realized I hadn’t been practicing up picking in a while. Looking forward to The Ventures on a snowy week.
