Step 1
Begin the scale with a G, played on the top string which is the low E string. Put your index finger on the third string, and pick that string to play a G.
-
Step 2
Move onto an A by placing your middle finger on the fifth fret of the same string, the low E string.
-
Step 3
Place your index finger on the second fret of the second string to play a B. Keep moving up the scale with a C on the third fret of the second string followed by a D on the fifth fret of the second string.
-
Step 4
Continue on in the scale with a finger on the second fret of the third string for the note E, the fourth fret on the third string for an F sharp and the fifth fret on the third string for a high G.
-
Step 5
Follow the same note progression in reverse so that the notes go from high G to low G. Practice this scale forward and backwards until it comes smoothly.

Step 6
Use the notes in this scale to play simple tunes. Some popular rock songs in this key are "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles and "Brown-Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison.
