Fast Legato Rock Technique #5 (Guitar Lesson RO-015) How to play

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!
