→CAGED Scale Positions
--D---| |----D----| |----D-
With this, we can quickly determine which fingering pattern aligns with the root note for the current position. All we need to know is where the root notes lie for that position. You should practice moving between neighboring patterns, to innately understand their interrelation.{|! G !! E/G !! G + E/G|-|<pre>|A|-|B|C|-||E|F|-|G|-||C|-|D|-|-||G|-|A|-|B||D|-|E|F|-||A|-|B|C|-| 5</pre>|<pre>|B|C|-|D|-||-|G|-|A|-||D|-|E|F|-||A|-|B|C|-||E|F|-|G|-||B|C|-|D|-| 7</pre>|<pre>|A|-|B|C|-|D||E|F|-|G|-|A||C|-|D|-|E|F||G|-|A|-|B|C||D|-|E|F|-|G||A|-|B|C|-|D| 5</pre>|} Notice how the far-left notes in the G position are the far-right notes in the E/G position, just moved to a lower (thicker) string. All the other notes simply move to the left. The only tricky part is the G/B strings, as they aren't tuned to a perfect 4th. Thus, === Understanding the Patterns ===In the [[1st String#Patterns|1st String Lesson]], we looked at the fingering patterns possible for any group of 3 consecutive notes on the same string for the major (and natural minor) scale. This is another shortcut to help you quickly identify the fingering patterns for a position. There are 3 patterns for a single string:* 3. <tt>|o|-|o|o|</tt>* 2. <tt>|o|o|-|o|</tt>* 1. <tt>|o|-|o|-|o|</tt> Let's look again at the scale maps for each position, this time using 3 notes per string, labelling each pattern per string. {||<pre>1 |-|o|-|o|-|o|1 |-|x|-|o|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|3 |o|-|o|o|-|3 |o|-|o|x|-|2 |o|o|-|o|-|</pxe>|<pxe>1 |-|-|o|-|o|-|o|3 |-|-|o|-|o|o|3 |-|o|-|o|x|2 |-|o|o|-|o|2 |-|o|x|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|</pxe>|<pxe>3 |-|-|o|-|o|o|2 |-|-|o|o|-|o|2 |-|o|x|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|1 |x|-|o|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|</pxe>|<pxe>2 |-|-|o|x|-|o|1 |-|o|-|o|-|o|1 |x|-|o|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|3 |o|-|o|o|-|3 |o|-|o|x|-|</pxe>|<pxe>1 |-|x|-|o|-|o|1 |-|o|-|o|-|o|3 |o|-|o|o|-|3 |o|-|o|x|-|2 |o|o|-|o|-|2 |o|x|-|o|-|</pxe>|<pxe>3 |-|-|o|-|o|o|3 |-|-|o|-|o|x|2 |-|o|o|-|o|2 |-|o|x|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|1 |x|-|o|-|o|</pxe>|<pxe>2 |-|-|o|o|-|o|2 |-|-|o|x|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|1 |x|-|o|-|o|1 |o|-|o|-|o|3 |o|-|o|o|-|</pre>|} We know from the prior [[1st String|1st string lesson]] that for a given major/minor scale, there are 2 of each pattern that occur, plus one additional whole-whole (<tt>|o|-|o|-|o|</tt>) pattern. As we ascend from low (thick) string to high (thin), the patterns go in order - 1(x3), 2(x2), 3(x2).
