3 Notes Per String

Three Note Per String Our third unit is all about expanding our scale horizons, and working with wider shapes and economy picking as well as alternate picking These are all ideas we will cover as we go through the exercises, so stay tuned!.

3 notes per string. Major Scale 3NPS We're starting here with Pattern 1 of the 3NPS (3 Notes Per String) System it's a super nice introduction to the system and is the easiest pattern in terms of stretc Now we're looking at Pattern 2 of the Major Scale NPS System. As the name suggests, a 3NPS scale is any scale that contains three notes on each string, and as you’ll see in this eBook, this makes for a very consistent way to map out scales on the guitar fretboard.

The three note per string system uses seven different positions The easiest way to map them out is with a major scale, starting on each of the seven notes Just use three notes per string, and that's it When you use a different scale, any notes altered from the major scale stay on the same string, shifting by the appropriate number of frets. 3Note Per String Major Scales Author Carl Brown Created Date 12/1/09 240 AM.

One of the systems that I personally like a lot is the 3noteperstring system that is widely used these days The main advantage ist that it uses a regular number of notes per string (3), allows you to quickly cover a lot of terrain on the fretboard in a very fluid manner and unlike the 4noteperstring system is still very fingerfriendly. Many guitarists are drawn to the CAGED system for learning scales (and largely unusable chords);. From there, you have located where this ‘3noteperstring’ pattern can be found Playing the notes within this pattern will keep you playing in key and will allow you to come up with some cool new licks and phrases!.

In this video we’re going to talk about the technique itself, I’ll break down some licks for you to practice and give you a bunch of tips on how to apply string skipping into your own playing. Another system that is useful for learning scales is the 3 notes per string system In this lesson, we’re going to take a look at the 3 notes per string major scale patterns What is the 3 notes per string system?. Melodic minor Scale – 3 notes per string Here is an overview of the Melodic minor scale in the key of C, using the 3 notes per string system It can be useful to think about what fingers to use to limit the amount of positions switches per position Mostly the trick is to start the lower strings with 1 2 4 if there is a whole step between the first 3 notes.

There’s more than one way to break the major scale notes on the guitar into pattern pieces The patterns you see here take on different forms than the five major scale patterns, but they still use the same notes You don’t have to memorize or even use the patterns described here, but it’s recommended that. There are two basic ways to play guitar scales The first method uses a pattern that combines two notes per string and three notes per string, consistently has one finger per fret on each string, and causes the guitarist's fingers to periodically move down the neck (backward) when reaching for the next note.

With this system of learning scales, as the name implies, you play 3 notes per string across the fretboard for each position There aren’t any changes from 3 notes, to 2 notes, back to 3 notes, like you find in the CAGED system. 3 notes per string licks and scales are generally used for speed picking Whenever you hear a guitar player playing these really fast terrifying licks, it’s probably a 3 notes per string lick Paul Gilbert of MrBig is one of many great experts in this field If you practice these exercises properly and often enough you will increase your speed. Alright, up until this point, I've been mainly focusing on building up speed in the standard fourfret box shapes, which are outrageously simple to fi.

3 Note Per String System The 3 Note Per String System (3NPS) pretty much does what it says on the tin, each scale pattern will have 3 notes on every string The Major Scale has 7 notes, and a 3NPS scale pattern can be built from each degree of the scale which is why it's sometimes called the 7 Pattern System (and incorrectly imho, some call them modal patterns). Step 1 Three Notes Per String Here I graph out a pattern for the E minor pentatonic, playing three notes per string Step 2 Let’s Cover the Neck Here I graph out another two patterns, the first with the root on the fifth string, and the Step 3 Why?. D String 12 (D) 14 (E) 12 (D) 14 (E) 16 (F#) OK, so before we move to the G string the CAGED system has dropped a note costing us speed and also breaking the balance/flow of equal notes per string Also when now going to the G string in the CAGED system we will have to stretch backward to catch the missing F# which again is costing us.

Its a good idea to start organizing your scales and playing them all with 3 notes per string so you can easily see the 4 note options and youre more aware of the overlap between scales and how they connect All three note scale forms are included in the notation So if you have three notes per string your options are 123 132 231 213 312 and 321. In this video we’re going to talk about the technique itself, I’ll break down some licks for you to practice and give you a bunch of tips on how to apply string skipping into your own playing. Locating the Pentatonic Notes Within this ‘extended soloing framework’, you have 3 of the 5 total pentatonic positions.

Alternatively, you can also learn the C major scale positions by using the 3 notes per string method However, I prefer to use the CAGED system for learning scales because I think it makes it easier to visualize and remember Personally, I find them easier to play as well Let’s take a look at each scale position. The first is in linking your modes together into once large body of notes that can be treated as any of the 7 modes The other is to help you develop your speed runs 3 note per string guitar modes automatically gives you an upper hand when going for legato speed runs The 3 notes on each sting allows simple use of hammer on’s and pull off’s. Here is a simple worksheet that will help guide you through the modes of C Major I enjoy this because it opens up a whole lot of exercises.

These 7 scale fingerings are built using a strict 3noteperstring pattern, which is more consistent than other scale patterns you might have seen Because many scale patterns have a mix of two notes per string on some strings and three notes per string on others, the picking pattern for those scales is difficult to decide, and many players will simply use alternate picking Alternate picking is a technique making use of a strict upanddown picking pattern with no variations. 3 notes per string patterns starts getting you thinking a bit in a more linear fashion on the neck so they are useful IMO A lot of rock players use these as the basis for at least some of what they play around with (Van Halen, Satriani, Vai, Kiko Loureiro, etc), just don't be confined to the patterns when you're actually creating and playing music. So as not to totally blow your mind, we will be working with one 3 note per string scale shape for the entire unit, mastering it from every angle!.

The 3 notes per string exercises are played using the alternate picking technique There are other techniques as well like sweep picking but alternate picking is the most common one Alternative picking means you hold the pick between your thumb and index finger with the pointed end facing toward the strings You strictly use alternating down. 3 notes per string Standard tuning = 1 wwwandyslessonscom 1/1 All Rights Reserved International Copyright Secured sguit 000 000 000 000 000 000 When there are 3 notes per string, start the next string with the opposite pick direction Play slowly and steadily 1 2 000 000 000 000 000 000 3 4 023 023 023 023 023 023 5 6 3 3 3 3 3 3 7 8. The 3 notes per string blues scale patterns involves weird stretches and unusual fingerings but it's well worth the effort mastering them These patterns allow you to use all the sequences and licks that you know from the Major / Minor realm, because you have the same amount of notes per string And you'll be able to play incredibly fast blues.

The 3 notes per string fingering is optimal for the use of speed picking e legato, since the number of the notes is always 3 on each string That allows us to use the pick return after the 3rd note on one string using a sweep picking to pass on the further string, creating the speed picking tecnique. The major, harmonic minor and pentatonic 3 note per string shapes will be a useful addition to your lead guitar armory 3 note per string scales can be combined with standard scale shapes to increase the range of your solos. Threenotesperstring scale shapes are a great way of accessing the maximum available notes anywhere on the guitar neck These positions make full use of all four fingers and cover more frets than the traditional fiveposition, or CAGED system shapes.

Once they realize that the CAGED system (not even a system) is for losers and merely filler material for lazyass guitar teachers, they move on to the 3noteperstring (3NPS) system because Satch used it The CAGED system has five scale patterns. Major Scale – 3 notes per string Here is an overview of the Major scale in the key of C, using the 3 notes per string system It can be useful to think about what fingers to use to limit the amount of positions switches per position Mostly the trick is to start the lower strings with 1 2 4 if there is a whole step between the first 3 notes. While there are a lot of great guitar players known for their 3 notesperstring, don’t underestimate what people like Zakk Wylde, Eric Johnson and John McLaughlin can do with 2 notes per string.

Major Scale 3NPS We're starting here with Pattern 1 of the 3NPS (3 Notes Per String) System it's a super nice introduction to the system and is the easiest pattern in terms of stretc Now we're looking at Pattern 2 of the Major Scale NPS System.

We take the 3 note per string scale shape and move through it in major 3rds What this means in practice is that we play the first note, skip the second and hit the third We then return to the 2nd note (the one we missed) and repeat the sequence considering that note ans the first. Threenotesperstring scale shapes are a great way of accessing the maximum available notes anywhere on the guitar neck These positions make full use of all four fingers and cover more frets than the traditional fiveposition, or CAGED system shapes.

How to Play the Diminished Scale with 3 Note Per String Patterns michaelsocarras » Lessons » howtoplaythediminishedscalewith3noteperstringpatterns The Diminished Scale In this lesson we will begin to study the first mode of the diminished scale It has 8 notes and sounds pretty cool so lets get right into it. Threenoteperstring Scales The 5 block CAGED system isn’t the only way to view the neck Here I’ve written out the F major scale and its related modes with 3 notes on each string, which divides the neck up into 7 overlapping areas. Here is a simple worksheet that will help guide you through the modes of C Major I enjoy this because it opens up a whole lot of exercises.

To keep to the 3 note per string concept we must move this note to the adjacent string like so So when building this scale pattern, we must move a note across to the adjacent string to keep to the 3 notes per string rule Now, note here that we moved position up one fret is all but it it is worth noting.
