Music Lesson Transcript: Example 1
In Example 1, we see the notes F sharp and G.
- The G is going to be played on the third fret of the high E string.
- It's an octave from the low G we previously saw.
- Remember, that's fret free on the E.
As we mirror these notes, you'll hear, as I go up the neck, that the notes remain the same, just in different registers.
We also have the F sharp, which we discussed earlier. Knowing that F sharp is located on the second fret of the E string:
- We find the sharp by identifying F and raising it a semitone.
- Although we don't have the sharp sign next to the note F on our page, we recognize it as F sharp due to the key signature at the beginning of the music, which we discussed earlier.
If you need to recap what key signatures mean and what sharps and flats are, please refer back to that section.
Fingering Technique
This whole example is played on the high E string. We start with:
- G (third fret)
- F sharp (second fret)
- Open E
We will use a finger per fret:
- Ring finger (third finger) on the third fret (G)
- Middle finger (second finger) on the second fret (F sharp)
- Open E with no finger
Bar Overview
In Bar 1, we have the same example as in Bar 2.
In Bar 3, we are playing:
- G
- F sharp
- E
- G again
We finish off with a quarter note E at the end, followed by three beats of rest (a quarter note plus a half note, totaling three beats).
So that line, nice and slowly, sounds like this:
3, 4.
Practice Tips
Give this video a pause and try using alternate picking when playing this exercise.
- Start off slowly and, as always, build up gradually.
I'll see you in the backing track to give it a go!
