How do you used Guitar Scales? how can you identify if a certain song is using a!
Question: Well,we have a training in which we have to first of all listen to almost all the notes played on guitar..then we have a sort of "test" wherein we have to identify the notes that are played in the guitar..my great teacher plays notes for us....so,in this way...we develop the "scale-note-chord" listening sense...then it becomes much easy to say in which scale the song is playing....if you have just started learning guitar or you've interest in guitar...then..i'll show you an easy trick....the instrumentals that are played in the intervals of the songs are kinda much helpful for all the learners...just catch it up on your guitar and then you will probably get the scale...but its limited...not all the songs can be identified in this way.....
Secondly,
you can catch the augmented note..or what i prefer,the sharp or the flat note of a particular song....concentrate on it and you will get the scale...i mean,supoose you're listening a song in D Major scale...so,if the song has 2 sharp notes(i.e. F# and C# for D major scale) then you will be able to catch up the whole scale....

im not too into theory and all that, but im pretty sure they just go by what key the song is in. thats what i do. but forget about scales. just keep practicing and you wont need scales. youll develop something better... SOUL!!
Generally, by identifying the key and then the chord progression. Then, determining if the song is using a flattened 3rd, 7th, augmented or diminished 5th, etc.
After a while, you'll just know instinctively.
I can identify the scale by listning to the song. But when i make my own song, i create my own scale.
Scales help on the finger exercises. Teaching the ear is something else. All the chord progressions have compatible scales. If you know what key the rhythm man is strumming, you can play a lead melody that harmonizes. There are charts for the chord progressions and books for the scales.
Once you identify what key the music is in then you can select that scale (or a related one to improvise a solo).
So if the song is in the key of G major then you can improvise a solo using all the notes in the G major scale.
This is just a starting point of course ; improvising your own solos can get quite complicated.
You have to learn to identify the key (and the scale) by practising. There is no quick and easy way to do this. You have to train your ear.
