Hello Cherries! Playing a scale in thirds (3rds) means skipping a note in the scale and then returning to the one you missed, creating a sequence of intervals. For example, in a C Major scale (C-D-E-F-G-A-B), the sequence is C-E, D-F, E-G, and so on. Vertical playing stays within a fixed "box" or position on the fretboard. This is the most common way to practice scales. Horizontal playing involves moving along the length of the fretboard, typically on a single string or a pair of strings. This helps you visualize the scale's intervals more clearly. When you get the 3rd's under your fingers you can move on the 4th's, 5th's, 6th's, and so on. You can do this with different scales like minor, or mixolydian. In this video I show you exactly how to get started with 3rd's.
