I just learned my first 2 octave G scale on the guitar. I plan on getting all or most of the G scales up the neck. My question is How many other scales are essential to know?
What kind of music are you interested in picking? Bluegrass, old time, jazz, blues?
I pick mainly bluegrass, gospel and old time country so for that genre, I'd learn G, C, D to begin with then add A and E, all major scales.
If you're going into jazz or blues, you'll need to learn more.
