This LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD showcases the C A G E D guitar chord and scale sequence exclusively in the EIGHTH POSITION, for all to see, use and reference. But, before thumbing through this book, there's exists certain musical material 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 EIGHTH POSITION, and that position spans a full two octaves plus a perfect fourth when in standard tuning. Moreover, when in the EIGHTH POSITION, the second and third fingers on the fretting hand are to remain stationary in their respective frets or "slots", at this point, as their stationary qualities allow the first and or fourth finger to stretch or slide to the desired note located in the position's outermost fret areas. Conversely, the picking hand has a very important string pattern that naturally occurs by the sound hole or bridge, where that hand just so happens to be a majority of the time. The picking 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 D root on the first or thinnest guitar string in this position. To become familiar with it, begin by picking the D there (first string, third finger); then E (third string, second finger); G (fifth string, third finger); A (second string, third finger); C (fourth string, third finger) and conclude with the D (sixth string, third finger). The one-three-five-two-four-six string pattern naturally fits the fingers on the picking hand and the pattern is looped, forwards or backwards (six-four-two-five-three-one) as the D roots on the first /sixth string(s) are deemed interchangeable. THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD also uses three additional terms that need clarification...those being main root notes, octaves and unisons. What are main root notes? Well the term represents a specific set of root notes that fall or cluster under the second and third fingers of the fretting hand when in this, or any other, guitar position. Once the location of each main root note is committed to memory in the EIGHTH POSITION, the attention then moves to each of their octaves, which is defined as the musical distance or interval between one musical pitch and another with half or double its very own frequency. Some correctly call the interval a "perfect octave" proper, but to simplify, in guitarland, octaves are usually found "one string one fret away" on the fretboard. This handy fact helps to memorize the neighboring octave in the given position, 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 technique). And last but not least are the unisons, which occur when two or more music notes happen to simultaneously sound the exact same pitch at the same time no less. In guitarland, it usually means "same note different string or fret", implying that the unison occurs in the guitar position at hand, this being the EIGHTH POSITION. So that's it! THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD for the EIGHTH POSITION is uncomplicated, straightforward and super easy to use. Its picture worth a thousand words visual based format allows the guitarist to take full advantage of the fretboard material straight away. You'll have fun discovering some fresh perspectives on the same old same old, while also adding some new twists and turns to your own technique. What's more, THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD for the EIGHTH POSITION also contains a trifecta of manuscript, tablature and fretboard paper too, helping catalog your musical ideas, journaling them away for some future use. To close, as always, thank you very kindly for choosing this particular volume from the LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD series and including it in your library of fretboard knowledge needs...Enjoy!
