Just as review, we now we know where the E string is our first finger, our second finger, and our third finger, open 123. Now that we know where the E string is, and the notes that you can play on the E string, we're going to think of this E as being the lowest note we can possibly play on a string. And what I mean by that is, if you think of pitch, and this, I can play notes that are higher on it. They keep on going up in pitch, and as I go up in pitch, I see notes that are higher up on my staff. Right. The lower the notes that I see on my staff go lower notes they are right, the lower the pitch, the lower I find On my staff.

So if I know that the lowest note that I can possibly play is this key note, and I can't play a single note that's lower than it. Every note lower than this E note has to be on a different string than he. From he upwards. I can play notes on the E string, E, F, G, A, or open one, two and three. But anything that falls below this means I have to play it on a different string. That gets us to notes on the A string, or a string is found here.

A couple ways that we did that is we found our first string one, which isn't a string, he and I went down and I skipped a space and I want Since I went to the very next space and I found my second string, and the same rules apply as what I was able to do with the Eastern. So if this is an open zero fingers, zero fingers, and I go up one line or space, what finger do you suppose we put on it because we went up one, I add one to the value of zero, and I get my first finger. One. If I play a, that's an open, open, no fingers, that's the second string, one, two, the second string a. I'm going to go up one ladder space. Because I went up one, I'm going to play my index finger or my first finger and that's going to go one inch above where this nut is, right about there, it's gonna sound like this.

So I'm gonna play these two notes. Open a den one. Okay? Now remember the same rules apply. If I go up one line or space from this line to this note, I add one to the value of one, so one plus one equals two. So this would be a two.

That means I play this second finger, open, no fingers. One, I play my first finger. Two, I play my second finger. Now same rule applies again. If I go from my second finger and I go up one liner space from from my second finger, I add one to the value Course, again, I get a three. That means if I see a note here, open 123, I'm going to use my third finger on my a string or my second string.

So again, I have my first finger about an inch away from the nut. My second finger is about an inch away from my second, my first finger, and my third finger is real close to that second to that third finger. And we're going to play these together. I'm going to give you an example first. So I'm going to play through it and then I'm going to give you one, two. Ready, go and play.

So here we go. I'm gonna play this open, followed by this one, too. And then the three. Together. One, two, ready, go. Down, down bow more time together.

Okay. Now if we see the notes that we've played so far, we can see a pattern. We've went open 123. If I follow this up to our Eastern, which we already know we also have open 123. So if I have open 123, and I'm just going up one line or space at a time, one line or space or line or space at a time, then I'm then I'm going to open 123 open 123 if this exists down here on the D string the same way I would go open 123, open 123, open 123. The same thing, what is this down here, if I was on my fourth string G, I would go open line 123, open 123, open 123, open 123.

So you see there's this pattern that exists. I play open or one open and one, first finger to the second finger, three, the third finger, then open D, open, then one, then two, then three, and then it process continues again, open 123, open 123. So it works out mathematically well for our fingers. So you When our brain is thinking about these notes, we're not, at least at this point, in the beginning of us playing, we're not thinking about as I'm playing a song, this is an A note, and that's an F sharp, and this is a C, and that's an A and this is an A, and that's a D note. I'm simply thinking mathematically because it's easier to come up with this in our brain. If this is, first of all, where is my open strings?

Where do I find them? And I think of them in these little spots in these open areas. And then from there I go, okay. If I have this note, how do I play it? I'm going to first start with open, then here's the one and here's the two. So I see this note, I'm simply going to put my second finger on the first string.

And we're going to continue with this process with the D string and the G string and upcoming videos. And we'll see you in the next lesson.
