 We now go to three octave scales using the finger pattern concept now The important thing with the three octave scales that you catch from me is that we start with the two octave scale concept And really the only thing that's new here is that we're shifting up on the E string to get that last octave Now the way I do the shifting is as I'm going up I always do a one two one two one two three four shift on the E string Going up so it's always one two one two one two until that last one two three four Coming down. However, my fingering is four three two one four three two one two one all on the E string So I do my whole shift up and my whole shift back on the E string So let me do a couple of these for you. So you get a feel let's start with one that starts on first finger on the G string So let's do a C major scale Let's do a G major scale starting on open G. Our finger patterns are two three on the G string two three on the D string one two on the A string and one two on the E string followed by a series of one two shifts This concept holds true on the D string as well with the open D string If you look at the scale that's written out for you in the three octave worksheet You'll see how that works and the same with those that start on first finger on the D string The important thing is here for every single scale that you begin with first finger or open on the G and the D and That you use the same finger patterns for the first two octaves The third octave then becomes your shifting passage and it should work for you If you have any questions, don't hesitate to see me and we'll work on this further
