About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

This lesson is a technique and speed-building monster, and one that every single guitar player should be familiar with. We're going to learn the G major two-octave scale in two different positions, then build speed by learning the circular scale I developed.

    Anybody have a tip for the left hand stretch in here? My pinky is not cooperating.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
