All right now we're on to the second octave of our G scale. So far we've done a scale, D scale, G scale. The last scale that we did this G scale is the first octave, doremi faso Latino. Well, there's more to it doremi faso Sorry for the bad singing but you get the idea. We're gonna start with a third finger where the last note that we left off on T dough. That finger is a third finger on the third string, one, two third string, the D string, about the third finger and we're going to play that note one followed by open a, that's the second string One, two strings.
And now we're going to make our way up to the first regular one. And now here's that low two, and we're going to want to have our fingers real close together. Again, if you have really slender fingers, I have like medium sized fingers for a male, but real slender fingers, you're still going to see a slight distance between those two fingers. But for me, you're going to see them close together. For larger folks who have big, big thick fingers, they're going to have to get the middle finger right on top of the index finger and slide it off to get into. So here we go.
We have the three that we started on on the third string. Okay, and then we have open a and then the index finger goes down on a regular one. Now we have that low, two real close together to our first finger. And now the three is feels like a reach now where it didn't before when we had our second finger in high two position. So now, since we have this low to the tendency, when we're first starting out is to not reach quite so high as we need to. So it'll probably feel like you need to reach a little further than you think you do to get in tune.
Now don't take that to mean that you need to reach really far, it's just a smidgen, just a small amount extra. Okay, so let's get through these notes again. So we have G, that's the third finger on the third string, open a the second string, first finger on the A string or the second string. Now you have that low to really close to your first finger. And that's a C note. And then a denote which is your third finger that reach and we were just talking about five by an E string open or first string open or staying on the E string of the first string one, which is the F sharp, and then you finally end up with a G. So G, A, B, C, D, F sharp and G. Now, some things to look out for a little bit is because we're starting to get used to this high two and we'll play it a lot is when we go through this position.
Typically a student will do this and put their finger in the the high two position and then retracted into the low to position because this is comfortable and then the move, let's try to avoid that step in put it directly into the loan to position when we play the G scale. Okay, now I have my bone, we're going to play this, this G scale second part of the G scale. Remember the first part was open. Now this is the second part, second octave, so we're using this third finger on the D string or the third string. Open a first finger on the A string, second finger on the A string, third finger on the A string. Now remember that second finger was low, so it's right close to the first finger by the three, regular one on the E, and then low to finished.
We're going to go backwards. Open in three When we get back to the three, this is the expectation. Instead of playing only the three, we're gonna get all our fingers down in their respective positions with the three below two in the one. So look like this. All three fingers go down. The last note is over to the third string three.
So let's play this exercise. And we're going to start together in 321. Go. One, followed up with another low, two backwards All the fingers down so as you can see my fingers are starting to gain shape before I move it a few times backwards Hello You're doing great and we'll see you in the next lesson.
