About this scale
The major scale is the backbone of guitar playing across all styles. From rock to pop, country to jazz, it appears everywhere. On the fretboard, it is learned through the CAGED system which maps five different positions across all 6 strings. Mastering the major scale on guitar means understanding harmony in every key.
