G Major Scale – 2nd Position

By Klaus Crow 8 Comments

G major scale - 2nd position

Dear fellow guitar players, today I want to teach you how to play the 2nd position of the major scale. Learning the major scale is crucial if you want to become an accomplished guitar player.

2nd Position Major Scale

Once you’ve learned the 1st position of the major scale you can continue your journey by learning the 2nd position, also referred to as the D-shape position of the major scale. (See video lesson for more details on that).

Below are the TABS and the video lesson where I explain the entire lick slowly and in close up.

You’re gonna get a lot out of this.

Have fun!

    Hi, what are the green marks on the fretboard? Wasn’t sure the significance of those notes!

    Great instruction overall

    Hi Adam,
    The red and green notes together make up all the chord tones.
    A major chord is built from the 1st – 3rd – 5th note of the major scale
    The red notes are the root notes (1) and the green notes represent
    the 3 and 5 of the chord.
    The notes of a G major chord are: G – B – D ( 1 -3 -5 )
    So the red notes are “G” notes and the green notes are the B and D notes.

    To Guru:
    On Feb., 6th, 2022 you have sent the video file: “5 Pentatonics you must know” before sending the 1st lesson of pentatonics scale (video has a man with electrical guitar and i did follow its tutor…) and now I like to know the relationship between that video and lessons you sent later.
    Best regards!

    Thanks so much,
    I love the exercises you show at the end for building fingering skills. I played for many years and then had an accident and lost all memory of my prior skills. I had learned to play by ear, so never knew scale patterns— you made this so easy to learn when it was never something I had patience for in my youth.
