THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD for the SECOND POSITION plainly showcases the C A G E D guitar chords and scales in the SECOND POSITION for all to see and use. But, before thumbing through this book, there's some subject matter that the guitarist may need reminding of...even though he or she may have played for years. For example, in this book, six is the exact number of consecutive frets involved in the SECOND POSITION and each guitar position spans a full two octaves plus a perfect fourth when in standard tuning. And when in the SECOND POSITION, the second and third fingers on the fretting hand are to remain stationary in their respective frets or "slots", initially, as their stationary qualities allow the first and or fourth finger to stretch or slide that additional fret. On the other hand, the picking hand, a very useful and important picking pattern occurs down by the sound hole or bridge (where the picking hand happens to be.) This pattern involves every other string and is best evidenced when the C A G E D main root note sequence is plucked alphabetically, starting with the G note found on the thinnest or first guitar string. To discover it, start by picking the G root there (first string, second finger); then A (third string, first finger); C (fifth string, second finger); D (second string, second finger); E (fourth string, first finger) and conclude with the G (sixth string, second finger). The one-three-five, two-four-six string pattern naturally fits the picking hand and is looped, forwards or backwards (six-four-two, five-three-one) as the G root notes found on the first/sixth string(s) are deemed interchangeable. To conclude, there are three musical terms that need some brief clarification for the purposes of THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD...those being main root notes, octaves and unisons. What are main root notes? Generally speaking, main root notes represent a specific set of root notes that fall or cluster under the second and third fingers of the fretting hand. There are two instances however when the main root notes are played with the first and fourth fingers, both of which are present here in SECOND POSITION. Please be aware of this. Once the placement of each main root note is learned in this position, the attention then moves to their octaves. An octave is defined as the interval between one musical pitch and another with half or double its own frequency. Some correctly call the interval a "perfect octave", and in guitarland, octaves are usually "one string one fret away". This handy fact helps memorize their location even though, occasionally, two strings and or two frets are involved (the same concept applies in that there will be some sort of string skipping.) And lastly, unisons are defined as when two or more music notes happen to sound the same pitch. In guitarland, it usually means "same note different string or fret". The term also implies that the unison occurs in the guitar position at hand. So that's it THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD for the SECOND POSITION remains uncomplicated, straightforward and super easy to use. Its picture worth a thousand words visual based format allows one to take full advantage of the guitar fretboard material right away. You'll have fun discovering some fresh perspectives on the same old same old, while also adding some new twists to your own fingering technique. THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD for the SECOND POSITION also contains copious amounts of manuscript, tablature and fretboard paper too. As always, thank you very kindly for including THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD in your repertoire of fretboard knowledge needs...Enjoy
