Going by the frets you've given, it sounds like he had played the song in E minor sclae. Jayswami had played the same song available at his site. There he has played it on G-sharp minor scale!
just a quick question.... is there a shortcut to find the eminor scale?....like can i just take the e scale and flat every note?....or no?.... u cant do that can u?
Yes there is If you take the minor scale for instance, it is formed of: 1,2,b3,4,5,b6,b7 notes another notation for this is: Tonic, W, H, W, W, H, W, W where W is whole step and H is half step. So you have E(tonic), F#(whole step), G (half step), A, B, C, D E is the E minor scale. if you memorize the W/H notation u can derive any scale from any tonic.
hey right on, ananth, when I first started Iuse to use finger position 4 every scale , most of the times I build my own scales, or I can hear the "off" note while playing now.
