In this video, students are introduced to the mechanical fingering pattern that creates a major scale. Emphasis is on finger names corresponding with fret numbers to achieve a repeatable pattern that produces the sound of a major scale, even when applied to different starting frets. Students are walked through the pattern ascending and descending.
