DADGAD COUNTRY BLUES SCALE

The DADGAD Country Blues scale that I've uploaded is available at www.the-guitarplayer.com/ in pdf format . This is what I refer to as a country blues scale. It is basically a B minor Blues scale but is very useable over a common chord pattern pattern in D suc as D , G A7 etc.



I have put a few musical twists in it instead of just having an ascending then descending to make it more musical to play


There are also other DADGAD tabs for downloading at www.the-guitarplayer.com/

a new acoustic guitar and blog

a new guitar and blog

for the past few weeks I've been working towards creating a blog that was installed and hosted on a web hosting service . My reason for doing this was so I could create a lot more content and haave a bit more control over it. After numerous bugs and workarounds it's finally up and running.

My additional acoustic guitar blog/site is now at http://www.the-guitarplayer.com/ the first post is about a number of acoustic guitars that I tried and liked and which one I eventually purchased. It plays beautifully. The article covers why I chose the particular guitar and why I did so, and a few of the things I liked.

This blog will updated in the near future , now that I have a bit more time on my hands

The Fretboard - high E string

The final string on the guitar is the top or high E string.

Note: it is the same as the 6th string


It is named high E because it is high in pitch. And it's the top E because of the way it sounds, but really it's closest to your toes.

The notes are:

E---F---F#---G---G#--A---A#---B---C---C#---

If you follow the sequence through, when you reach the 12th fret you'll be at E again

The Fretboard - B String

The second string of the guitar is the B string

The notes are:

B---C---C#---D---D#---E---F---F#---G---G#












And you'd realise we recycle back to A after the G sharp
