Now try to start linking all your fingering patterns together
starting from part 1
Practice part one ascending: F G A/ B C D / E F G / A B C / D E F
/ G A B THEN move to the part two version and descend the scale:
C B A / G F E / D C B / A G F / E D C / B A G then go back and
begin part one again ascending then descending via part two.
Next try linking part two ascending to part three descending,
then part three ascending to part four descending etc.
The concept is to create an endless loop of correct notes in the
key of C. Take your time we are after accuracy and perfect
co-ordination between both hands.
Some electric guitars have 24 frets, by now you will understand
the concept, whatever number of frets you have on your guitar
adapt the 22 fret guitar scale system to cover every note on your
guitar fingerboard.
