Today I am sharing with you an original etude (musical exercise), designed to help you memorize & differentiate between the musical qualities of the major & minor scales.
Difficulty level: Intermediate - advanced
About the etude
The etude alternates between the E major and E minor scales, and is perfect for:
- Memorizing the major and minor scales/arpeggios shapes
- Familiarizing yourselves with the different musical characteristics of the major and minor scales
- Building speed, a good sense of rhythm & accents
Subjects covered in the video tutorial
- Left hand positioning and major/minor scale patterns
- Scale degrees and differences between the major and minor scales
- Alternate picking (right hand) technique
- Legato (pull offs & hammer ons) technique
Included are tabs & backing tracks in 3 different speeds for download.
In the backing tracks I play a demonstration of the exercise in each speed, and then the rhythm guitar for 3 rounds, for you to play on top of.
