Practice guitar while meditating, can it be done? Be sure to check out the youtube channel Wisdom of the masters if you enjoy this sort of thing :)

One pattern to rule them all (part 3)

In this lesson we are moving the diatonic pattern we learned 4 frets down. The pattern is the same as before but we are transposing it down 4 semi-tones, or 4 frets. This G Major scale has the following notes.

G -whole- A -whole- B -half- C -whole- D -whole- E -whole- F# -half- G


notice that the step-pattern is the same as that of the C major scale. It is in fact this step-pattern that determines that this scale is a Major scale. A Major scale is always whole-whole-half-whole-whole-half.


5 boxes

The most common way to start memorizing the whole neck is by dividing the pattern in to a few bite-sized chunks. This lesson has divided the G Major scale pattern in to 5 boxes.
You can take all the time that you need to memorize them. So start with the first one and after a week or so, you can move on to the second. Thake it easy and set your own pace, whatever is comfortable for you!
