Fingerings for modes I-VII of the 3-notes-per-string scale
The 3-notes-per-string scale is not only suitable for fast runs and sequences in legato playing style, but also for quick position changes on the guitar neck. Starting with note A on the 5th fret of the low E string, these patterns end with the highest note on the 10th fret of the high E string. Thanks to the common fundamental note, tonal differences and specific interval structure of the seven modes are easily audible.
