Scales 5

With the computer we can cut out a section of any chart and study it in detail. We're going to study frets 6, 7, & 8, using a C scale. We apply pedal combinations and that allows us to see the music change on the guitar. The first set, of chart sections below, show us everything in the key of C. The next set of charts will show the same pedal changes, but we will change the scales and the key. We see a 4 major chord, a 5 seventh chord, and a 6th seventh chord, all found at the 8th fret. Compare the key of C chart with the one in the other key and see how all keys relate to one another.

The numbers within the squares represent major scale tones. The more ways I can find to look at things, the more ways I can find to play licks. Different places and strings, bring those new, hot licks. These charts are for the E-9th standard tuning.

C major scale at fret 6, 7, & 8. As the pedal bends the strings, we see the new scale pattern that is the result. Each chart below is in the key of C.
