Wicked Easy Trick for Major Scales All Over the Neck - in Any Key!

[Music] so [Music] welcome my friends eric andreas your guitar sage here and today we're going to be talking about a wicked trick for major scales all over the neck in any key friends the only thing you need to know is three notes and the pattern is so daggone easy i was literally just using it all over the deck literally just using this the track that i just played for you is in e minor i was playing g major over it okay if you know about relative major and minor that's basically what i was doing there uh if you want to know more about that here on youtube search your guitar stage relative okay but essentially what i want to show you is something that i stumbled across you know me in my crazy videos is always things that i stumble across and i ask myself why is it that i've been playing guitar for this long taken guitar lessons from many great teachers read many books watched many videos taken lots of courses but yet this has never been taught that seems to be my theme is like i find these things that i'm like why hasn't that never been taught and this is one i'm pointing at the screen here because i have it up here this is one of those things that to me is so out there in front of you and why not teach this it's so magnificent okay so uh we're talking about basically this one little pattern that if you replicate this across the strings my god the whole thing just opens up for you okay now i'm basing this off of some real basic theory don't get scared of it regarding the major scale specifically where i teach you how to play the major scale across one string okay you got to know how to play the major scale so this is going to all be based off of some stuff that i provide for you inside of ugs standard i'll tell you more about that later but if you want to go there before i finish this video the very first link below will give you access to the unstoppable guitar system and it'll talk to you about the maker scale cool otherwise we'll talk more about that later so here's the deal the major scale sounds like this you've heard it before except instead of solfege which is what i just said that whole soulfedge thing is selfeggio uh vocal exercises if you will we're gonna name these notes by their number one two three four five six seven one okay and so you see patterns like this [Music] right or right and all the different forms of the [Music] scale all these different forms and yes you can memorize all those i don't have them memorized i'm joking i do but you don't have to memorize these you can the more you do the better but i'm going to show you this one trick here that will literally show you how to play these scales in in any and all keys okay now it goes like this so you've heard of three notes per string scales right this is kind of using that idea but making it even easier so we could play the scale like this [Music] or we could play it using three notes per string now when we get to the one here again it starts over again [Music] right now check this out i want to show you something that if you take these three notes and you repeat them on the next string you have six notes out of this seven note scale watch again here we go we have three five seven that's all you need to know because this repeats now we're going to go 357 on the next stream now we're going to take that whole bit there and we're going to move it to here what we did is we just moved this to the next string down but we bumped it up two frets i'll tell you more about that in a second but now the same thing so it's the same pattern and then we bumped it down two frets or bumped it up two frets and then the third time around this is how you remember it go up three frets so here we go the third time around now we're going to go one two three and now [Music] and that's six notes out of the seven note diatonic scale okay now i know for some of you you're probably saying yeah but there's seven notes in a seven in a diatonic scale yeah you're correct yes so let's talk about that note the seventh note is always a half step below the one so we can easily access it that one's so easy to remember the part i want you to remember is this [Music] and then if you want to find the seventh note it's only a half step below your one every single time in every single key so check this out getting ready to play my next set but i'll start on this note [Music] same thing here so all together it might sound something like this [Music] what yes and i know you guys are wanting those scales that go diagonally because i wanted that too and for whatever reason folks think that if you're doing that that you have more mastery of the neck i mean you have more notes to choose from right you can play your scale up higher so that's kind of cool but and it is good to know these diagonal scales for sure you know but friends the power in this is is pretty amazing because not only can you add this to all the other pentatonic forms and thank you mike for the pentatonic forms all the major scale forms that i show you the modal forms and all that if you add this to it it's just giving you yet another way to look at the guitar in fact i think about when i was a kid in a band and i had written a solo and it was in the key of uh g or at least the solo was and i did this run and it went something like this [Music] well let me see something like that [Music] and so what i'm using is that three notes per string bit [Music] you know just going up but in this case here i wasn't using the major i was using it but i was doing it in a different style so very useful to be thinking about these scales in different ways because when you do a different licks going to come out of you than if you were just playing the scale the standard way all the time so yet another thing to add to your repertoire okay or your bag of tricks if you will so again just three five seven and then three five seven to get on the next string and then you're gonna bump that up two frets and you're gonna do the same finger movements and the third time around you bump it up three frets one two three and do the same bit and if you want to add that seventh note it's always a half step behind the one so [Music] and then play that backwards do this forward do it backwards then move it up the fretboard okay try it in the key of g try at the key of g sharp move it up the fretboard in short time you will have mastery of this and it's just yet another way to look at these scales my friends this is the these quick in and out broadcasts that we're doing for you guys we cannot get to the questions i apologize okay but i want what's that oh let's show them the graphic dear lord thank you mike here's the graphic what i want basically what i want you to do is just take a snapshot of this you ready okay then you got my face on it as well which is a bonus uh but notice the greens put that up again mike real quick ah there you go they're green the green part right second part third part and then you have that that one note that's right behind the red note and the red note up there is your tonic every time this is a completely movable scale yet another way to think about this this works for every major key so now you got it in 12 keys as well boom right i'm telling you friends we can't grab the any questions during these broadcasts because we're in and out doing these quick lessons but we are going to be continuing our live lessons as well maybe doing them every other week or so just hopefully you're privy to our your subscribe to the video so you'll
