THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD, in an organized and thoughtful way, sorts out the typical C A G E D guitar chords and scales as found in the SEVENTH POSITION. Before going any further, there are some things the random guitarist needs to understand...even though he or she may have played for years. For example, in this guitar book, the SEVENTH POSITION represents a specific six consecutive fret area of the fretboard. All guitar positions involve a six consecutive fret area, true...and all positions including this, the SEVENTH POSITION, span a musical two octaves plus a perfect fourth when in standard tuning. Once position has been established, the 2nd & 3rd fingers on the fretting hand are to remain stationary in their respective fret area or "slot". It is a good idea to encourage the fingers to stay there from the get go because it is these stationary qualities that allow the first and or fourth finger to stretch or slide that additional fret. In guitar position work it is fair to mention the use of open strings, all of which continue to bring musical exceptions and musical opportunities to any position, including the SEVENTH POSITION, giving it it's unique flavor. When it comes to the open strings, guitarists naturally welcome and explore that which they musically provide. Regarding the picking hand, a very useful string pattern occurs near the sound hole or bridge. This pattern is alphabetical but does not always start on A per say and it is featured in the pages of this book. The pattern is best evidenced in the SEVENTH POSITION beginning with the C note found on the first or thinnest string. Pluck the C (first string), then D (third string), E (third string), G (second string), A (fourth string) and end on C (sixth string). The picking pattern fits the hand well and is infinitely looped forwards or backwards in that the C notes remain interchangeable on either the first and or sixth string. Lastly, some other music terms common to all musicians that need to be addressed for the purposes of THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD are what's called main root notes, octaves and unisons. What are main root notes?...In general, the main root notes represent a specific set or cluster of root notes that only fall under the 2nd & 3rd fingers of the fretting hand when in a guitar position. However, there are two specific instances present in the SEVENTH POSITION where they are played using the first and fourth fingers. These exceptions function just like any other shape, are easy to play and fit the fretting hand quite well just the same. After learning about main root notes, one soon learns about their octaves and unisons. An octave is technically defined as the interval between one musical pitch and another with half or double its frequency. Some correctly call the interval a "perfect octave". In guitarland, octaves are usually "one string one fret away" and for the most part that is true. However, occasionally, there are two strings and or two frets involved. Even so, the same concept applies in that there will be always be some string skipping technique. And lastly, as for unisons, they are defined when two or more music notes happen to sound the same pitch. In guitarland, it usually means "same note different string or fret". The term also implies that this phenomenon occurs in the given guitar position. Adopting these fretboard facts into your own playing allows one to take full advantage of the material as presented in this book. You'll have fun rediscovering the same old same old, while adding some new twists to your own established guitar technique. Farewell for now and thank you for choosing THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD!...
