Recently I did a post about the 3 Most Important Jazz Scales for Beginning Improvisers. Ā To summarize, the most important scales to learn first areĀ the Major, Dorian, and Mixolydian scales because they help you navigate major 7th, minor 7th, and dominant (b7) chords, respectively.
Here is a PDF of theĀ 36 Important ScalesĀ (Major, Dorian, and Mixolydian in All 12 Keys). Ā Enjoy!
