  • just out of curiosity, if you play 3 notes on one string of the pattern, is it common to keep the "unused" fourth fretting finger up and not on the board (which you can see often in electric guitar playing) ?

  • you forgot to mention that the pattern only works anywhere on the fretboard, as long as it's on the bottom four strings (EADG strings). The pattern changes on the top two strings (B and E strings) because of how the B string is tuned differently than all the other strings.

  • You look kind of like Nick Swardson. lol

  • @lexladybug10 You cant use a righthanded guitar if ur lefthanded =)

  • Thankyou! Nice guitar by the way.

  • My strings are upside down :(

    The fat strings are on bottem, but it feels wierd when i hold my guitar upside down

  • The american dream is not alive because you can shoot off a bunch of fireworks

  • @cooladenyou1 the twelfth fret of every sting when played is the same as that string open so the pattern would just start on the twelfth fret of the low E instead of open E . hope it helped :D

  • Ok.. I know how to play guitar.. pretty decent.. Im a metal guitarist... but I have 0 music theory.. I have NO idea what "keys" are or what the difference is between major or minor scales. Im sooo confused. Someone please help me by replying with a link or something that you think will help me thanks =]
