Mandolin C Major Scale Positions

Video Transcript

"So now we're going to take that open position and just kind of, look at how it relates to the rest of the stuff. That we learned in our last session. So we looked at our major scale open position. And we noticed that, that was similar to how our pinkie finger. Laid out for our previous positions, indeed. And that we move up our ring finger, could start on the note. Our middle finger could start on that note. And our first finger can start on that note. We're really dramatically changing, where we are in the instrument. The rest of them are still pretty, pretty low. But once you get your first fingers starting things. It works differently. Notice that this first finger there is identical to when you start your first finger. Here on this root. you know, here's your C. That we found in our open position. Same exact finger. And now let's come up here. Here's your C, up here. Right? Whole step down from D. You know, so directly I'll transfer it. I could still do it with my middle. Or I could still do it with my first and be way up the neck. So that's how the moveable positions apply to the key of C."
