GUITAR LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS: Playing C major scale on the guitar.

Hi my friends! Today I am going to show you two different ways you can play the “C major scale” on you guitar. Remember a major scale begins and ends with the same letter name.

Let us take a look at the C major scale.

C       D       E       F       G       A       B       C      -   (C MAJOR SCALE)

1        2        3      4        5        6       7        8

Now, you should notice that each letter of the scale is assigned a particular number. The numbers are there to tell you what degree of the scale is a particular note. Each degree of the scale will be illustrated in sequence showing you how to play the scale. The scale starts from the 1^st note and ends on the 8^th note.

The illustrations below show you two patterns as to how you should play the C major scale on the guitar. The first illustration shows how to play C major scale using the Lower strings with no open note while the second illustration shows how to play the C major scale using the higher strings which includes open notes.

I hope you enjoyed todays lesson. Remember to practice!
