Hi lovely people, today I want to teach you how to play the major scale, in particular the G major scale. The G major scale (1st position) is the best scale to start out with when you’re learning a major scale on the guitar, because of how it is positioned on the guitar.

Once you know how to play the G major scale you can move it up and down the neck to every key you like.

How to Learn the G Major Scale – 1st Position

The best way to learn the major scale is by playing the 2 octave major scale.
Memorize the notes of the major scale
Learn the scale using the appropriate fingering
Learn the scale also with one finger to become conscious of where the notes are on the neck.

Below are the TABS and the video lesson where I explain everything in full detail.
