This lesson appears in several short course playlists on my channel because it is absolutely essential for learning and understanding guitar theory. Without learning this guitar scale you will never understand key signatures, modes, chord theory or the theory of writing your own music as well as much more useful guitar knowledge. More importantly you'll never be able to play guitar solos to your full potential. The major scale can be considered to be the DNA of western music and many other scales are derived from it.
