When practicing scales on single stings to play on every string you may miss much of the string.
If for example you were practicing c major on the D string if you start on c you miss so many notes.
In cases like this do we start from a note that isn’t c and play the scale or do we just miss most of the string when we practice on single strings in certain keys
Thanks for sharing.
Learning scale. Based on any Major scales... you can start from any degrees.
You just cannot start the root note to root note... that's okay. You can hear any starting notes of that scale.
Before you do, play that Major chord or minor chord so you can hear the tonality of scale.
When you practice scale, listen to the chord.
C Major scale... Listen C triad first... then... play any string. Listen that interval against C triad,
4th string. First play C in that string. And go forward or backward listening each intervals against C triad.
So D note is just 2nd note from C Major Scale. You can sing Do first then play that D note.
How you think about things then it's all good!
Thank you.
