Session 3 : Blues Building Blocks
Major Scale Exercise
The Major Scale Exercise involves playing every major scale for one octave in one position. This is a very
helpful exercise for learning the neck of the guitar as well as the finger patterns for major scales. Here it is
shown in the 5th position. Play each scale for one octave ascending and descending. The note with the
diamond and the number indicates the root of the scale and the finger you are to start the scale on. Because
of how the guitar is tuned, the 5th string root forms are identical to the 6th string root forms.
6th String Roots
5th String Roots
All of these 5th string forms share the same finger pattern as their 6th string root counterparts.
