This is a one "Octave" G Major scale. Wow! I had no idea! It will sound very good when played on top of any chord progression using the chords from the Key of G Major, which you should already know by now. In the section "Rhythms and Melodies" I will create some useful Rock/Pop/Bluesy types of melodies you can play combining just this scale and the chords you've learned so far. Sounds like guitar fun to me!
