Performance Tips For This Blues Scale Position
This scale position utilizes open strings, and provides many opportunities for using hammer-on and pull-off techniques to create interesting licks. Although there is no straightforward "correct" way to finger this scale, you might try to:
- use your first three fingers to play all the notes on the 5th, 4th and 3rd strings
- shift position to play the first fret of the 2nd string with your first finger
- play the third fret of the first string with your 2nd finger, and the fifth fret of the first string with your fourth finger
