User:GUITAR SLIDE RULE - 5 POSITIONS

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN 5 POSITIONS ON THE GUITAR.! Where to put your fingers is powerful information! 12 possible pitches =7 in key +5 out of key. The GUITAR SLIDE RULE - 5 Positions yields: 4 major and minor modes, including every fret and every note in any key! A sliding transparency with the same 5 hand positions moves to any key desired on a printed guitar neck. These 5 sequential hand positions are not arbitrary, but occur from the dynamics of the guitar and of modes; color is added for a good visual effect. There are no big hand stretches. There are 5 positions starting with blue, then green, yellow, orange, red, and then blue again. The fingering is clearly shown. If you were to play in A minor, you would set the slide to A minor (which uses the same notes a C Major, G Maj with a minor 7th in the scale, or D minor with a Major 6th in the scale),  The blues scale is usually the minor with a Major 6th scale. The notes represented on the printed neck are where all the notes in that key are. So, if you were wanting to improvise a lead or add any notes at all, these would be the right notes for that key. The choice of notes and the manner in which they are played are your choice and they define your playing style or a style of music as is country, rock, blues, jazz, etc. What is the fingering to all the notes on the guitar for C# blues, or B Major?? You pick a key, set the slide, and play notes from the 5 positions in front of you. It is a handy visual tool for professionals and anyone who likes to know what notes to play in a given key and an easy way to play them. 5 Positions will let you control the neck! Good for leads. Valuable information, and inexpensive, too! The BASS SLIDE RULE - 5 Positions - and the PIANO SLIDE RULE are available. If you were to choose any key, then chart out every note on the guitar neck; you would see 5 distinct hand positions. In music, there are 12 possible pitches with 7 in a key and 5 out of key. Notes that are out of key (atonal) are more rarely used except in passing (or used as a passing tone, not to be held a long time). Any key of your choice is related to other modes (scale types): for instance, C Major scale uses the same notes as does A minor, D minor with a Major 6th in the scale, and G Major with a minor 7th in the scale. Also, the chart of that scale could move up or down on the neck of the guitar to change keys. The minor scale with a Maj 6th in it seems to be the scale mostly used as the blues scale; sometimes they use pure minor. Many times a popular song in a Major key will use the Major with a min 7th. These 5 positions overlap and always go in order up the neck. The first position overlaps the second which overlaps the third, etc. or it could be said that the first position share one side of it's fingering with the second and so forth. For a visual of the fingering is the GUITAR SLIDE RULE - 5 POSITIONS. Also available is the BASS SLIDE RULE - 5 POSITIONS and the PIANO SLIDE RULEBold text.
