In this lecture, you're going to learn how to play the minor scale for position number three. Let's take a closer look at how to play the scale. Minor Scale position three. For this exercise demonstration, I'm going to be showing you how to play an E minor scale position three, choosing this E here, just kind of keeping it in the middle of the neck. But wanted to keep doing a minor position three, I would go up here to this day right here on the fifth string, 12th fret. Now again, I'm just trying to keep it here in the middle of the neck.
So I'm going to start here on this knee on the fifth string, seventh fret. That is the one that is the root of the scale and this position three, it's going to go one, two flat 345 flat six, flat seven, one, that's a finger shift up. flat seven finger shift up to one, two, flat 345, flat six. Coming back, flat six, five, or flat three to one, flat seven, flat 654321 and then four flat seven right here. I'm going to, I'm going to do a finger shift, I'm going to go ahead and go using my second finger. I'm gonna use my first finger, that's going to allow me to reach up to here to get my flat six.
So I'm going to go four flat 321, finger shift, flat seven flat 654. And I'm gonna get back up to one more five, flat six, flat seven. One. The reason I'm shifting here to my to my pinkie instead of using this finger is because I'm setting up when I have to get down to two if I want to keep going back on the scale. So I shift here so that it's comfortable then for me to play those notes right there. Alright, so I'm going to go ahead and play it one more time.
One, two, flat, 345, flat six, flat, 712, flat, 345, flat six. Coming back, flat, 654, flat three, to one, flat seven, flat, 654, flat three, to one, flat seven, flat, 6545, flat six, flat seven. And then back to one. Once again, since I'm going pretty slow, I'm just picking most of them down. But when you practice it you want to practice on and if picking where you hear you're going down, down, down, down, you get the idea. That is how you play the minor scale position three
