Guitar Rote Exercises - Gliss - Slide - Minor Root 5th Octave Shape

3 years ago
36

in this exercise, we practice sliding a minor root 5th 8va shape up and down the strings.

While the 1,5,8 are all notes that are in both the major and minor scales, this shape sets you up, and puts your fingers in good position to reach all of the other notes of the minor scale.

This exercise goes together with the Major Root Octave Shape exercise.

This exercise is done to practice your slides, gliss, intonation, and lateral finger control.

As well as to get your fingers, and your ears, more spatially aware,

and to work on the foundations of music theory, and chord shapes, which you will use to build more upon later,
