Exploring the Fretboard No.30-31: Comparing 1st Position to 13th Position and Major and Minor Triads on the Third String, from my book Exploring the Fretboard: 100 Exercises for Intermediate Guitar. PDF sheet music with notation, left hand fingering, and video lessons. This book offers students a set amount of ordered material and a variety of ways to investigate the fretboard. It has been designed as an exploratory primer before further and more comprehensive study.
Remember to say the note names out loud. Practice only one exercise at a time for 2-3 minutes a day. Repeat the exercise for a few days even if you can play it first try. This exercise will discuss how first position and thirteenth have the same layout pattern but use different fingerings. It is followed by a comparison on G major and minor triads on the third string.
