Lesson 32
PLAYING FIRST THREE STRINGS
This lesson shows you the natural notes on the third string and where
those notes appear on the musical staff.
INSTRUCTION
octave
Here are natural notes
that you have learned
so far. You can play
them all on the first
three strings. Combinoctave
ing all the notes that
you have now learned allows you to play two different octaves, G-G and A-A. The
diagram below shows where these notes are located on the fretboard.
PRACTICE
Play these melodies below while counting the beats.
You can now play entire octaves beginning on two different notes. Since B occurs on the fourth fret of the
third string and the open position of the second string,
you have two choices when playing the melody below.
Play it with which ever note is easiest for you. This kind
of duplication happens often on the guitar. You will see
much more of it.
