EXAMPLE INDIAN PENTATONIC SCALE VERTICAL LIN1E8S

This line features a country-style movement at the start of bar 9 whereby various notes are played on the first string while simultaneously holding a bend on the second string. Note the deviation from two notes per in. string here: there is a modified fingering on both the fifth and third strings whe&re notje we play the C# note on the same stri∑ng as the d each octave. Next, we move up to CaGed shape #2 (for the start at least) and play an Indian-style melody reminiscent of the work of George Harrison of The Beatles when he was dabbling in eastern music. Note, again, the modified fingering on the third string. Here, we start things off in shape #2 again, before drawin)g upon a three-octave symmetrical approach, in which the five notes of the scale are laid out in a 2-3 configuration on the upper, middle and lower string-pairs (we’ll be doing more of this in the following lesson). The only

string.oe note not being used from the full three-octave pattern is the G note at the third fret of the sixth

Next, we have a repeated lick that employs notes from shape #3; however, it doBeUs bBoDrrow thBeUG onBDthe 15th fret of the first string from shape

This is a good example of the different musical results that can ensue by placing the C# and d notes on different strings – it makes you play differently to what you would probably do if(they were on the same string.
