Practical Applications of Harmonised Scales Part 3 - Tapping
Today we are going to look at some ideas we can use within the harmonized major scale to help us compose tapping ideas. We’ll be looking at the e and B strings.
We are going to be basing these ideas around three shapes:
Major: 1 3 5
Minor: 1 b3 5
Diminished: 1 b3 b5
So, to start off with, let’s out the notes in the following chords:
C major: C E G
C minor: C Eb G
C diminished: C Eb Gb
Next, for each of those three chords, we want to map out those notes in ascending order on the second string. The root note, C, is in red:
