Line up four fingers to the second

your first finger but do not let any of your other fingers leave their
assigned frets!

At Chodosh Guitar we recommend that
you learn this scale to enhance your understanding of the instrument only after
you have thoroughly committed the open position "C" scale to
memory and can play it properly using eighth notes at 100 BPM.
I suggest "calling" out the name of each note as you play it to
help you remember where you are.
DIRECTIONS: Start with the note "C"
at the 3rd fret on the 5th string. Play "up" to the
highest note on the first string and then back "down" to the
lowest note on the 6th string before returning to the note "C"
where you started.

Here it is in
Tablature. I have taken the liberty of printing the note names
below each fret number.
