Expand your understanding of the guitar fretboard by practicing the major scale horizontally and exploring the chords hidden within it.
A great way to work on your fretboard knowledge is to practice everything you know vertically, horizontally as well. When doing this with the major scale, it allows you to hear the thirds, triads and 7th chords ring out together which helps to train your ear by giving the same information a different context. Changing the way that you play something you’re familiar with challenges how well you know the information and the sound.
Practice tip: Use the work you’ve done on the major scale as single notes to help you play thirds, triads and seventh chords going up a single string.
Advanced Tip: Consider the octave shapes that are available near each of the chords and how you could change the voicings the spread the sound.
