Question 1

Hi, how does the Scale side work?  What are the blue dots?

Accepted Answer

Hi, unlike chords, scales are movable.   The chart lets you practice all the scales in any key.  The Blue note is the Root note of the scale.
So lets look at the "Major" scale pattern on the chart. 
If you were to place this chart pattern with its Blue note of the E string at the 5th fret on your guitar (the A note), then you are practicing the scale of "A Major".
If you now move that Blue root note over to the 3rd fret and play from there, you will now be playing the "G Major" scale.
Another example: If you look at the "Blues" pattern on the chart.  Imagine placing the Blue Root note of the diagram at the 7th Fret on your guitars low e string.  Now your practicing the "B" Blues Scale.
As shown from the examples above, just that one side of the chart lets you to practice 8 scales in any key on the guitar!

Question 2

How big is the chart?  My son needs something convenient that fits in his guitar case.

Accepted Answer

Hi, the compact glossy chart contains every important chord and scale on one handy portable reference that fits on your lap.  No need to carry or flick through large heavy music books.  The Adagio chart fits perfectly into gig bags and guitar cases.  Kind regards, Colin

Question 3

Is this chart for both handed players ? i'm lefthanded andlookingfor a suitable chart

Accepted Answer

Quite frankly if the guitar is strung same order as the chart its probably OK The cords are only as shown for string order of E A D G B E. I f you have leftystrung opposite way you must take mit into account. According to my reading many left haded people simply learn it all and play a right hand guitar the same way as right hand anyway. Some even learn both ways. If you learn from beginner give it a try.

Question 4

Hello there,, I'm looking for something with the easier cords perhaps for kids? I have tiny hands and find it hard to play the more complicated cords

Accepted Answer

Hi, thanks for your question.  The Adagio Chart has 21 popular chords which includes all the easiest beginners chords, plus some more challenging ones to try.  The rear of the chart has scale practice patterns to learn, so its essentially two charts in one.
