Connecting Three Notes on a String Scales
POWER WORKOUT
Learning the entire guitar neck seems like an incredibly hard task for most guitar players. There is one exercise that opened the world of the guitar neck advanced to me more than any otherthree notes on a string scales. The idea is simpleplay a major scale playing three notes on every string of the guitar. Scales played in this way fall into seven forms, one starting on each note of the major scale. This workout shows how these seven forms connect on the neck.
