Further Scale Exercises
1. Introduction to Further Scale Exercises
In this video we will briefly discuss some of the alternative ways to play scales that will be covered in this course.
2. Playing from the Lowest Available Note
In this video we will play the major scale from the lowest available note on the instrument within that key. This exercise will enable you to explore more of the fingerboard.
3. Playing the Major Scale in Thirds
In this video we will play through the C major scale in intervals of a third. This is a great way to practice a scale once you are comfortable with playing it in the conventional manner.
4. Playing the Major Scale in Fourths
In this video we will expand on the previous lesson and play the C major scale in intervals of a fourth. As you'll see, doing so presents some challenges in terms of fingering.
5. Playing the Major Scale in Fifths
In this video we will take the idea of playing the scale using a specific interval further, and play it using fifths. Doing so presents further fingering/mental challenges and will require a 22-fret instrument.
6. Playing the Major Scale in Sixths
We'll now play the C major scale using sixth intervals. These are wide intervals and this exercise will require a 24-fret instrument in order to play it over two octaves.
7. Playing the Major Scale in Sevenths
Finally, in this video we will play the C major scale using seventh intervals. These are the widest diatonic intervals available within the scale and so this exercise is played over just one octave.
8. Three Note Sequences
In this exercise we will play the C major scale using a three-note sequence and a triplet rhythm.
9. Four Note Sequences
In this exercise we will play the C major scale using a four-note sequence and a semiquaver rhythm.
