The problem with scale patterns is that often muscle memory takes control over melodic sense, and weįind ourselves running up and down a fixed shape repeating unconscious schemes. This alternative way to play scales should give you new material to experiment with. I'll leave it to you, as an exercise, to do the same with the C minor scale.įor your convenience, here are the chords generated from the C minor scale:Įxercise On Two Notes Per String Patterns

See? All the chords generated from the scale are laid out in a clear way. This is the coolest effect of playing 2 notes per string: all the chords generated from the scale are clearly visible and highlighted along the scale.

A harmonic is a frequency at which a string can vibrate the lowest frequency at which a string can vibrate is one where the wavelength of the wave on the string is twice the length of the string itself. If you could freeze a sound wave in time and space (and if you could see the wave), measuring the distance from one peak of the wave to the next peak would give you the wavelength.Īn open chord, as played on a guitar, is the chord that you get by strumming a properly-tuned guitar without touching the strings. The wavelength of a sound wave traveling through the air is the physical length of the wave. The only real way to get a louder sound out of a string is to put more energy into the string, probably by plucking it harder. The loudness of a sound corresponds to the amplitude of a pressure wave the higher the pressure at the peak of the wave, the louder the sound seems to us.

Thicker or longer strings, on the other hand, vibrate more slowly, creating pressure waves that are farther apart, and thus that have a lower frequency. A string that is under more tension will vibrate more rapidly, creating pressure waves that are closer together, and hence have a higher frequency. Such a pressure wave can form when an object, vibrating back and forth rapidly, pushes air forward to make way for itself, then moves away again, leaving a partial vacuum behind. Sound is transmitted via a pressure wave within a material.
