Let's move down to our A string.
We are going to take the exact same positioning on this string and move it down to the A string
and we're going to have an A major scale.
So the same frets apply, it is just that you are playing on a different string and you've got a different major scale.
It's going to look like this.
Ok. Now if we look at the names of our notes on A.
On the A string.
You've got A, A sharp, B, C, C sharp, D, D sharp, E, etcetera.
So in our A major scale we have A, B, C sharp, D, E, F sharp, G sharp, A.
Hopefully this is making sense with the relationship between the way the notes are laid out on the guitar
and the major scale.
Again, refer to the tablature and the note names within the tablature to really help this sink in.
If we take that same idea and go down to the D string.
It's the same exact positioning you're just playing on a different string.
So here is a D major scale.
If we use our fret by fret note naming thing again here we can determine the names of these notes as: D, E, F sharp, G, A, B,
C sharp and D.
We will take the same thing we have done on these three strings and take it down to the G string.
Start open there and we've got a G major scale.
The note names there would be: G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp and G.
Moving down to the B string.
If you look at the note names in the B major you've got a lot of sharps.
B, C sharp, D sharp, E, F sharp, G sharp, A sharp and B.
That one is probably going to be the trickiest one to remember.
Then of course your E major scale down here on your open is going to be the same notes as your low E.
Just a few octaves higher.
E, F sharp, G, A, B, C sharp, D sharp and E.
