SC-001 • The Major Scale

[GuitarGirl2013]

I am only doing position 1 of the major scale. I have played Scales G-D. Is there a way to play the F major scale in position 1?

Thanks Ahead of time!

I haven't tackled the major scale really yet, but I think you would play it with the root on fret 13.

GuitarGirl, use the open strings.

SCales move up and down the neck, so every pattern can play every major scale, you just have to place the root note on the key centre you want.

But don't try and learn too many scales too quickly - make music with Pattern 1 before you even contemplate learning more scales patterns!!

Sorry : Searched and could not find the downloadable / printable 5 positions (scale shapes)  as mentioned start of Lesson

http://www.justinguitar.com/en/SC-021-MajFivePos.php

Appreciate a link thanx.

EDIT: No luck after more searching and just seems too hard to find here...so I will seach off site for a source of the 5 positions scale shape charts.  The obvious search words do not produce what Justin mentions in the lesson I linked.
