Tab Notes

*Positioning refers to placement of the index finger on the fretboard. For example in 1st Position any notes played on the first fret should be fretted with our index finger and by extension any notes played on the 3rd fret should be played by our third finger.

^If this sounds confusing don't sweat it too much you probably do this naturally already! We'll check up on it in the lesson. 

Be sure to practice all of these scales with proper Up / Down picking motion.
