How to Play Movable Major Guitar Scales

Video Transcript

"So once again, let?s look at the C major scale really quickly. We have the eighth fret, the tenth fret of E, seventh, eighth, tenth on A, seventh, ninth, tenth on G, eight and tenth on B, seventh and eighth on high E. Now we have to understand this is a movable pattern. The cool thing about this is that there is no open notes, so you'll notice that if we played, so we find the G major right, here's E, here's F and here's G. So if we decide that this is our root, the root of our movable major scale will be on our E string. We play that same pattern of fingering, watch, second, fourth, first, second, fourth, first, ninth, fourth, first, third, fourth, second, fourth, first, second. Then we can play third fret, fifth fret, second fret, third fret, fifth fret, second, fourth, fifth, second, fourth, fifth, third, fifth, second, third. Now this is our G major scale similar between and A and B and B flat. Same thing applies to B flat. You can play B flat major scale, to octaves in the same pattern. Do ra me fa so la te do. So try to play as many variations as you can on strings from the F sharp because we're going to have to learn that for F and E, we're going to have to play a different kind of scale shape because of the open notes but, any place where you can play this pattern, you can learn the major scale."
