C Major using Quadruplets
Once you learn to play the C major scales above, move them to different locations for other major
scales. For example, you can move this entire fingering down 3 frets and start on the 5th fret and play the key of A
major. If you start on the 3rd fret you could play in the key of G major. Moving to the 12th fret would be E major and so on. You will find all of the
major scales with tablature and guitar audio on our CD
Rom A Visual Learning Experience. The CD ROM will include the pentatonic scales as well. The CD ROM includes a
lot of guitar audio and video clip files that are to big to put on the site and includes the audio for this lesson.
Begin to play your lead guitar work using the notes of this scale. This
scale or mode is called the Ionian
mode,
which is always the first mode in the major scale. The numbers under each illustration are the suggested fingering to use
with the scale.
Good
luck,
