Master the G Major Scale (3 Notes Per String) – Beginner Friendly! In this quick lesson, we’re diving into the G Ionian (G Major) scale with a 3-notes-per-string pattern. Follow along as I start with the ascending scale pattern, focusing on smooth transitions between notes. Pay close attention to stretches and keep your thumb placement in check for better control and comfort. Once you’ve got the pattern down, we’ll step it up by playing the scale in a sequence, arranged in major and minor 3rds.
