ssab Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hi All Been trying to get my head around Modes. Found a really good lesson by Scott Devine but i dont understand what he means when he says that you can play scales in position 1 ,2, and little finger position. Can anyone throw any light on this for me ??? Cheers Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisthebass Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 What you do is start the scale from your first finger, second finger and fourth finger. In the case of the first finger, it's almost like a five fret stretch (1-2-4, 1-2-4, 1-2) the second finger is the bog standard major scale box position (2-4, 1-2-4, 1-3-4), and the fourth finger is 4,1-3-4, 1-3-4). The fingerings alter slightly for the minor scales. If you watch his videos again you should be able to see what he's doing - failing that, drop him a PM on here or email him via his website. Scott's a great bloke and always willing to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doddy Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 [quote name='ssab' timestamp='1331922875' post='1581038'] Is there a name given to this technique ? [/quote] It's not a technique,it's just a way of playing scales in various positions. You can even take it further by playing them over 1,2,3 or 4 strings and over 2 octaves.
