Mandolin G Scale Positions

Video Transcript

"Okay, so one last time we're just going to move our major scales around in the key of G. So this is a low G here and we can't really do anything below that. If we wanted to, let's take this. Here's our root here. So, this actually is what we use, our pinkie finger. It's similar to when we're talking about C, our pinkie finger can start this but since it's open we're just going to use our ring. Okay and now we're going to move on up. There's your ring and here's your middle. And, here's your first finger. Notice that when you start off the root this way, it's the same as it is down here. We can actually do that in the same place if we want. Right? So anytime we start with that first finger it's a very symmetrical pattern. Lastly, if we were coming down here we could stay up here and play these positions here. You know, you're ring finger. It starts all over again. So hopefully you can see the logic in this. Then, you've repeated yourself if you started out the first."
