Repeating Scale Patterns On Guitar
Let's take a look at some repeating scale patterns
that will build speed and coordination with both the right and
left hand.
Here is a scale that hopefully you already know, the E Blues
Scale.
Now instead of playing the scale notes in order, let's use a different
pattern.
Speed Building Pattern 1
Ascending (up) - up 3 notes, down 1, up 3 notes,
down 1, etc..
Descending (down the scale) - down 3 notes, up
1, down 3 notes, up 1, etc..
- First, Practice these patterns with downpicking
- Connect the notes
- Practice them with the metronome
- Try down/up (alternating)
picking when you feel comfortable with the pattern.
Speed Building Pattern 2
Ascending - Up 3 notes, down
3, up 3 notes, down 3, etc..
Descending - Down 3 notes, up
3, down 3 notes, up 3
