Here are the C Major notes on the G string. Play each group of 3 notes per position as we did in [[1st String|previous exercises]], up and down the string.

Here are the C Major notes on the '''3rd String''' or '''G String''' (get the dirty jokes out the way now). Play each group of 3 notes per position as we did in [[1st String|previous exercises]], up and down the string.

The M3 tuning between strings means the interval shapes we learned in the [[1st and 2nd Strings - Intervals|last lesson]] will be a little different. Basically, all you have to remember is that a major third is one semi-tone lower than a perfect fourth. Which means we need to move upwards one fret on the 2nd string to get the same intervals on the 2nd and 3rd strings. Let's do a quick example:
==Scales between 2nd and 3rd Strings==
{{crumbs|blue|23|2nd and 3rd Strings#C Major notes on 3rd String|C Major on 3rd String

Now let's look at a scale. Let's play B to G on the 1st and 2nd strings:
E---------------------------------------------
A B C D E F G A B C D E F G A
Both examples play the exact same notes, except the 2nd uses a shift from open to first position between the 3rd and 2nd strings. ''Notice how when performing the shift, we get 3 notes per string.'' This is a concept we will revisit later, but many speed players prefer this because it creates more balance when moving up or down the scale through the 2nd and 3rd strings. It is also easier to derive scales this way - each string will be either a w-w, w-h, or h-w pattern of 3 notes. Without the shift, we get only 2 notes on either the 2nd or 3rd string. This disrupts the order of the patterns across strings. In the 2nd example, we see w-h, w-h, w-w, w-w, and w-w patterns for each string. In the first tab we have w-h, w-h, w, h-w, and h-w patterns, then a final stretch/shift to the high A.
''Note: the figures above play an A Minor scale. Notice that it's the same notes as C Major. We'll look more into this later on.''
==Homework==
* Learn all the notes on the 3rd string for the key of C Major.* Play groups of 3 notes from the C Major scale up and down the 3rd string, in time with a metronome. Try to learn all the note names, saying them out loud as you play to help you learn them.* Play some intervals on the 1st and 2nd string, then try to play those same intervals on the 2nd and 3rd strings. * Practice the interval exercises above. Once you are comfortable with the fingering, play in time with a metronome and try to increase your speed. Play all the tab on the page. Start without a metronome, then use it and start at a slow tempo and work up but don't push yourself yet - speed. Practice descending as well as ascending. Play groups of 3 notes from the C Major scale up and down the 3rd string, in time with a metronome. Try to learn all the note namesis not important yet.
