Guitar Theory - Using Adjacent Fingers To Fret Adjacent Notes On One String, And Adjacent Strings

3 years ago

In this exercise, we use different combinations of adjacent fingers,

to fret 2 adjacent notes on one string,

And then moving to the adjacent string and repeating.

The previous exercise used the fingers 1-2,

So in this exercise we will be using

fingers 2-3 (middle and ring)

fingers 3-4 (ring and pinky)

This exercise combines two exercises we did earlier, which are

1 Half-step using adjacent fingers on one string.

5 half-steps by jumping to adjacent string at the same fret.

This exercise will help you build spatial awareness in 2 different axis

Axis 1 is the half step on a string,

Axis 2 is the perfect 4th between the strings

Bonus points for working out what happens to the interval between the G and B strings,

and what you have to do to correct the interval to match your intended pattern.

Hint: you have to sharpen the note on the B string
