Putting it all together
Think of these scale forms as different ways to
play the same notes. No matter which of the these G major patterns
you are playing, there is still only these seven different notes
(G A B C D E and F#). The scale forms are like pieces of a jigsaw
puzzle. The top notes of one form are the bottom notes of the
next. Once you have gone through all 5 forms, you will just
start over again.
When you play these scale forms in different keys,
you will need to move the fret where the root is ( the note
circled in red ) to the desired root note. Of course in order
to do this you will need to know the names
of the notes on the neck of the guitar.
