Play The 5 Patterns of The Major Scale Over a 1-4-5 Progression
Hello Cherries! I hope that Santa brought you everything that you wanted for Christmas 🎅🏼 Here's a little gift for you 😊
A little fun fact about music is that on the piano you can play a middle C “1 note” in only one place. On a traditional electric guitar you can play that same “1 note” middle C in 5 places. That makes the guitar pretty interesting in that you can play the same range of notes in multiple places across the fretboard.
I’ve been applying a system that helps organize the guitar into 5 sections. It’s based around 5 chord shapes “CAGED.” C shape, A shape, G shape, E shape, and D shape. You might’ve seen or played these open “Cowboy shape chords” before. They’re not always in that order. In this video I start with E, so then you have E,D,C,A,G.
Here’s the great thing. Each shape has a chord, matching arpeggio, pentatonic, and major scale that fit right under your fingers as you play that chord shape. If I was starting to play guitar or if I’ve been playing a while but needed a great foundation to build on, I would learn this way.
This is the foundation, and basics that works in all styles of music. Don’t look at it as being stuck in a CAGE. Look at that CAGE as something to UNLOCK. Have this in your back pocket. I believe that knowing and working on this will give you more confidence as a guitarist because everything you will ever play is based around this. Bold Statement 😊🎸
In this ⬇️ New Video ⬇️ I’m going to show you How to Play The 5 Patterns of The Major Scale Over a 1-4-5 Progression which is part 4 of this series.
Enjoy the video and have a great holiday weekend Everybody ❤️
