Now in this module we look at a little Practical Theory.
First back to the G Major Scale you learned before
Study the Diagram and the video below
Now when playing the scale pattern start paying attention to the names of the notes of the G Major Scale
This will aid in starting to know where the notes are on the guitar, It is a good idea to repeat aloud or to yourself the names of the notes as you play them
The secret is constant repetition, a little every day, of course the more the better
The scale should be played ascending and descending (Up & down)
The priority is on the physical playing of the scale pattern using the correct fingers, the memory of the note names and places will come in time.
First get the Finger Mechanics.
Diagram shows
The Notes of the
G Major Scale
The fingers to use are: 1st finger (index finger) plays all the notes in the 2nd fret
2nd finger plays all the notes in the 3rd fret
3rd finger plays notes in the 4th fret and
the 4th finger plays all the notes in the 5th fret
