Guitar Scales 22 Fret System (parts 4 And 5)

Posted on March 5, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment

Using the guitar scales 22 fret system we automatically take care
of the question of “what fingering should I use?”

Most guitarists and guitar method books promote 5 fingering
patterns called various names e.g., CAGED system, Berklee system,
GIT system etc The fingering generally varies from teacher
to teacher. The five fingering patterns are good for teaching
students how to read in a certain position on the guitar.

The guitar scales 22 fret system of 3 notes per string system is
an efficient and effective way of covering the entire fingerboard
and doesn’t lock us into a *pattern* remember I’m NOT thinking of
patterns I’m only thinking about the NOTES in a particular key.

Our first project using the guitar scales 22 fret system is to
play all the natural notes over the entire fingerboard. This
would be the same as playing all the white notes on a piano.

Eventually as we progress through this concept you will design
the best fingering for the particular musical situation.
