Hello, viewers
-
So here we are for, uhh, position 2
of the 3 note per string scale
-
So, uhm, what we're going to be
doing this time, now
-
The first scale that we learned started
on the note G, and went up like this:
-
♫
-
Now this next one is going
to start on the note A,
-
now some people call it the Dorian
position, but I don't really think
-
-okay it kind of is, but really it is just
the second position of the G major scale
-
using a 3 note per string technique.
-
Now, I'll play it for you quickly here and
then we'll go into a close-up and
-
you can see exactly how it's done.
-
So here it is in the big, wide view:
-
♫
-
The root note
-
♫
-
is now there.
-
Okay, now let's go to a close-up mate?
-
Okay, so here we go for position 2,
G major scale, 3 notes per string,
-
and make sure that you realize that the
highest, the last root note here is this
-
this G here.
-
But we're gonna start out on the A now.
-
So here we go, now we're going to use your
first finger
-
second finger
-
third finger
-
because that way we're keeping our hand in
the right position the whole way through.
-
So we got this
-
♫
-
now, big position change now
-
♫
-
Little bit faster and smoother now, just
be really aware of this position change
-
here where it goes from here
-
♫
-
It's quite a big one.
-
♫
-
Might be worth practicing that
little bit just like that
-
♫
-
When you get to your cycling.
Anyway, here we go again
-
smoother and...
-
♫
-
So, that was position 2 of the G major
scale using 3 notes per string.
-
I have got to say it again, do it slowly.
-
Umm, so, make sure you do it really...
yeah practice it real slow, get it right
-
and then have a go at applying those
cycling tricks that we just used
-
in the last lesson to that scale.
-
Now, that's going to be a little bit
tricky particularly on that change
-
between the 3rd string and the 2nd string
where there's a big position jump.
-
It's dead normal for that to be a bit of
a struggle, but it's not that hard.
-
It just takes a little extra bit of
practice, so have a groove on that, and
-
in the next lesson
I'll show you how to join
-
your 1st position
to your 2nd position
-
See you's later!
