Scale Pattern Based on Finger 3

You initially began playing the chromatic scale and Major scale beginning with finger 2. The scales use three vertical rows of buttons.

As you did earlier, play a chromatic scale and a Major scale starting with finger 2 on "C."

For a B System:
Now shift your right hand one button to the left, so that finger 3 is on "C" and finger 2 is on "B." 

For a C System:
Now shift your right hand one button to the right, so that finger 3 is on "C" and finger 4 is on "B." 

Play a C chromatic scale and a C Major scale using "B" as a pick-up note.

Notice that the Major scale pattern is different when basing the scale on finger 3.

Some songs may seem easier to play when using finger 3 as the basis for the scale rather than finger 2.


Play the song "Dark Eyes" using a scale based on finger 3.
