The B-string! If you play guitar you know what I’m talking about. The B-string presents a unique challenge to guitar players when trying to play scales. In this lesson I’ll take the mystery out of the dreaded B-string by showing you 3 different major scale patterns, each crossing the infernal B at a different point. We’ll start by reviewing the “primary” major scale pattern and then look at 2 variations. We’ll talk about fingering and scale degrees to make sure everything is crystal clear!💡 LESSON TOPICS:
♪ Why is the B-string such a bummer?
♪ Most of your strings are a "4th" apart
♪ Your 5th fret is the same note as the next open string
♪ The 4th fret on the G is the same note as your B-string
♪ 2 Different B-string Variations
♪ Left-hand position shift on guitar fretboard

🧑 ABOUT ME
My name is Alex, and my passion is teaching music online. I’m a bass player and composer by training and trade, but what I really love to do is teach. I make my living teaching private lessons on Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Ukulele. My favorite thing to teach is theory - helping the students understand the “why” behind the music and empowering them to make better and more informed musical choices. I’m very adamant about teaching technique. This is how you gain power and control over your instrument and ultimately raise the ceiling on where your limits are and where they will be in the future.
I appreciate you participating in learning music with me, either for free through my videos or in private lessons in my virtual studio. Players of all abilities and backgrounds are welcome! There’s no music lesson I don’t love.
