Yes fascinating is the word. Scales and chords, old friends but this lesson is one of those special moments for me thanks.

Are you using a pick here? Or just your fingers? If so, which fingers?

@gonzaleznicolas @rotoca
Have you watched the first lesson where Justin explains which fingers play which strings ?
@ 3:20 but suggest you watch the whole lesson (all previous lessons if you’ve not done already). Remember this is the fingerstyle course so no picks.

E A D Thumb
G Index
B Middle
e Ring

Welcome and Happy picking.

Love that mucking about w C man scale over G chord. Just a thought that tabbing that out might be useful for folks.

Hi David, @Drmart58
Welcome, Isn’t here not the point of doing improvisation? , sorry if I’m wrong, no more active memory of this lesson and too busy to watch it (but now I can talk about your photo)and it’s always a good thing to write things out by yourself…not that I do that often :grimacing:…
And what a cute animal you have there in your hands :heart_eyes:…are there more pictures `s from?.. if so, introduce yourself in the introduction topic with pictures… please :grin:
Greetings,Rogier

A real light bulb moment, Chords and Scales within the chord. first time I’ve seen this explained, rather than just picking patterns that I now realise involved scale notes. :clap:

Welcome to the form Sjc. If this kind of thing interests you you should take a look at the first 2 grades of the Practical Music Theory course on the website. They are free and cover things like chord construction, scales and arpeggios. Like all beginner course it starts off really easy but there is a lot jammed into the first 2 grades.
