FRETBOARD AND THEORY OF SCALES(DOWNLOAD A TXT FILE FOR BETTER VIEWING) sCALES: COMBINATION OF NOTES PLAYED INDIVIDUALLY IS CALLED SCALE OR LEAD. for better preception i am making a fretboard 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ______________________________________________________________________________________ E___F___|__F#__|__G___|__G#__|__A___|__A#__|__B___|__C___|__C#__|__D___|__d#__|__E___| A___A#__|__B___|__C___|__C#__|__D___|__D#__|__E___|__F___|__F#__|__G___|__G#__|__A___| D___D#__|__E___|__F __|__F#__|__G___|__G#__|__A___|__A#__|__B___|__C___|__C# _|__D___| G___G#__|__A___|__A#__|__B___|__C___|__C#__|__D___|__D#__|__E __|__F___|__F#__|__G___| B___C___|__C#__|__D___|__D#__|__E___|__F___|__F#__|__G___|__G#__|__A___|__A#__|__B___| E___F___|__F#__|__G___|__G#__|__A___|__A#__|__B___|__C___|__C#__|__D___|__D#__|__E___| SO FINALLY I MADE A FRETBOARD (SKIP THAT PART IF U ARE FAMILIAR ABOUT NOTES OR FRETBOARD) THESE ARE THE NOTES ON THE FRETBOARD WHEN WE PLAY MULTIPLE NOTES AT A SAME TIME THEN IT IS CALLED A CHORD. AND WHEN WE PLAY ONE NOTE AT A TIME THEN WE ARE PLAYING A SCALE OR A LEAD BEOFRE I PROCEEDS FURTHER I WANT U PPL TO LOOK AT THIS FRETBOARD FOR A WHILE LOOK AT A STRINGS NAMES(E A D G B E TO THE VERY LEFT) AND THE 12 FRET AT THE LAST U LL FIGURE OUT THAT AT 12 FRET U HAVE THE SAME NOTES THAT U HAVE GOT THE NAMES OF THE STRING . SO I LL TELL U THE EASIET WAY TO MEMORIZE THIS FRETBORD C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B (REMEMBER ONE THING THAT (NOTE B AND E DONT HAVE THEIR SHARP ) HERE IS THE KEY OF NOTES WE ALWAYS PUT NOTES IN A SEQUENCE OF THIS LINE NOW LOOK AT (E STRING ANYONE CUZ BOTH ARE E SO IT WILL NOT GONNA EFFECT THE NOTES SEQUENCE) AND NOW LOOK AT THE NOTES SEQUENCE U LL SEE THAT AFTER E ITS F AND AFTER F IS F# SO AS THE FRETBOARD NOW YOU U HAVE TO PLAY E STRING FROM THE OPEN STRING (OPEN MEANS PLAY THAT STRING WITHOUT PUTTING ANY FINGER JUST SIMPLY STRUM THE STRING ) AND PLAY IT TILL 12 FRET U LL SEE THAT AT 12TH FRET ITS E AGAIN HOW TO PLAY A MAJOR .A.

(FOLLOW THE NOTES SEQUENCE BELOW) IT WILL BE (NOTE D) WHAT WILL BE THE WHOLE OF D ? IT WILL BE (NOTE E) WHAT WILL BE THE WHOLE OF F#? IT WILL BE (NOTE G#) WHAT WILL BE THE WHOLE OF (NOTE B)? IT WILL BE (NOTE C#) H A L F --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT WILL BE THE HALF OF (NOTE C) ? (REMEMBER WE WILL NOT SKIP ANY NOTE) IT WILL BE (NOTE C#) WHAT WILL BE THE HALF OF (NOTE C#)? IT WILL BE (NOTE D) WHAT WILL BE THE HALF OF (NOTE B) IT WILL BE (NOTE C) NOW IF I WANT A MAJOR SCALE OF (B) __________________________________ I WILL SIMPLY LOOK AT THE FORMULA FOR A MAJOR SCALE FORMULA: {WHOLE---WHOLE---HALF----WHOLE----WHOLE----WHOLE----HALF NOW ILL LOOK AT AT THE FIRST STING (E THINNER ONE OR 1ST STRING ) ILL LOOK FOR A (NOTE B ) THEN ILL SIMPLY WRITE (NOTE B ) THEN I LL IMPLEMENT THIS FORMULA CUZ WE WANT TO MAKE A MAJOR SCALE OF (NOTE B ) AND WHENEVER WE MAKE A MAJOR SACLE OF ANY NOTE FIRST OF ALL WE WRITE DOWN THAT PARTICULAR NOTE AND THEN WE MOVE TOWARDS FORMULA FOR MAJOR SCALE(FOLLOW THAT NOTE SEQUENCE) TO GET THE SCALE C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B (REMMEMBER THAT B AND E DONT HAVE SHARPS#) {B C# D E F# G# A# B ) AND REMEMBER THAT THE STARTING NOTE WILL BE THE ENDING NOTE AND IF U ARE NOT GETTING THAT THEN U MUST HAVE MADE BLUNDER WELL I HOPE U LL NOT GET STUCK NOW HERE IS A EXCERCISE FOR YOU GIVE ME THE SCALE OF (G MAJOR SCALE) APPLY THE SAME FORMULA WRITTEN ABOVE I AM TIRED NOW I HAVE MANY SCALES BUT CANNOT WRITE LIKE PENTANOIC ALSO KNOW AS BHUPALI SO MANY SCALES YAAR LET ME TELL U ONE MORE THING I HAVENT WRITTEN THIS ALL TO GET YOUR RESPONSE OR A WORDS OF HONOUR THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP WHO WANTS TO DO SOMETHING I AM A GUY ADDICTED TO MUSIC SO THIS IS FOR YOU ADDICTED PEOPLE [ AND IF U WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING I AM HERE NAME MOHSIN [SNIP]or [SNIP] REAGARDS BYEE
