LESSON THREE: THE
"DOTS" CONTINUED
This lesson will be much like lesson ONE, except that the
notes will now be on the 6th string, but still starting
at the third fret (again at OUR first DOT).
The example is:
- 3rd fret = G
- 5th fret = A
- 7th fret = B
- 9th fret = C#
Notice that this exercise ALSO includes a SHARP at the
fourth DOT. It will be easy to recall where the SHARPS
occur IF you commit this to memory....4th DOT = SHARPS.
(Again, we will only be interested in the use of the 5th
and 6th strings for these particular exercises.)
Once you are able to name where all the "DOT"
notes are on both strings, try putting this and the
previous lesson together, starting with "C" .
Work through all 4 notes starting on the fifth string,
(don't stop now) then continue through all 4 notes on the
sixth.
- C-D-E-F# (5th string DOTS)
- G-A-B-C# (6th string DOTS)
As you can see, this shows "in order"
C D E F# - G A B C# ! This is a GOOD way to lock the INFO
in your memory bank.
When you can do this accurately, move on to lesson four.
