Scale shedding (this is Pattern VI in the key of A major for those of you have my Pattern System book!) is on tap here.
Ever wonder why just knowing the notes of a scale doesn’t mean you know how to use it? Well, it’s not you, more than likely it’s just the way you are practicing the scales. There is a myriad of ways – here is a great one using some classical embellishments.
Join in as we go from shedding the fingering to understanding how it’s built. Not the easiest scale either – A major in Pattern VI in Area I for those who do the Pattern System. If not, don’t sweat the naming, just get it under your fingers! This form starts with the root on the pinky!
