Your heros for ghosts

Hot Ashes for trees

Hot air for a cool breeze

Cold comfort for change

Did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

Major Scale Positions
The Scale Shapes
Position 1 - E shape This is the most commonly learnt Major scale position. It is pretty easy to play. You should learn and get really good with this scale before you start to learn any more. Please. Alternatives | |
Position 2 - D shape This is sometimes referred to as the Dorian position because the lowest note is the second scale degree - but you're going to start on the root note and hear it as the Major scale, aren't you? :). * - this note should use the 4th finger when the scale is descending and the 3rd finger when it is ascending. I believe this is the best fingering and keeps you hand in the best position. Alternatives | |
Position 3 - C shape This is sometimes referred to as the Phrygian position because the lowest note is the third scale degree - but you're going to start on the root note and hear it as the Major scale, aren't you? :). Alternatives | |
Position 4 - A shape Don't forget to start on the root note, not the lowest note... Alternatives Other alternative is to add a high B note to the top of the scale, but then it becomes a 3NPS (Notes Per String) scale which is another system that we are not doing here... | |
Position 5 - G shape This is sometimes referred to as the Aeolian position because the lowest note is the sixth scale degree - but you're going to start on the root note and hear it as the Major scale, aren't you? :). * - this note should use the 4th finger when the scale is descending and the 3rd finger when it is ascending. I believe this is the best fingering and keeps you hand in the best position. Alternatives |
