I own the older Learn & Master DVD set and was wondering if this newer major scale level 1 and level 2 is kind of a replacement for that? I know the old set isn't necessarily outdated. I haven't began that set and was wondering which would be better to start on? I have been trying to play for a few years and know open chords and can play a little. I certainly need lots of help. Thanks in advance.

It's the same set that was offered on the old learn and master site. And it fits I say after lesson 4.. But great after lesson 11

@Danny Robey Major Scale Mastery is part of the workout series and a supplement to, but not a replacement for, the Learn & Master Guitar course. You should start with the main course. When you reach Session 7, you’ll be learning about the major scale and that’s probably the best time to add the Major Scale Mastery workouts. As a matter of fact, you may want to consider adding all the available workouts to the main course at the appropriate stages. The Speed And Agility can be added early on, Jazz Chords can wait till Session 18. Steve will be adding more workouts in the future. I think he’s working on the Money Chords now.

@Danny Robey I agree with Gerard. You could benefit from the introductory Speed and Agility workout as early as session 5. But I think your time at that pre-barre stage is better devoted to the course fundamentals and learning a few songs. Try it out. Around sessions 7-8, I strongly recommend starting the Major Scale Mastery workouts: these will help you learn the fretboard, intervals, and melodic patterns.

I'd start the Major Scale Mastery: Level 1 around Session 8 or so of the main course.  Major Scale Mastery assumes that you already know your notes and have a basic understanding of what a scale is.

Hope this helps and learn all you can!
