A New G Scale (for me)

Gary Shepherd · From: Fox, Oklahoma, USA

I just figured out that I have an entire scale on the first 2 strings. How did I miss this?



1|———5———6———8———10———12———13———15———17——


2|———5E——6———8———10E——12E——13———15———17E—

Hi Gary

I tried it and it works - but is it any use when you can get the same voicing on strings 4 and 5 starting at the 6th fret?. Also a soggy half stop on the 2nd string would make it a bit hit and miss.

I have never seen the scale used in any tab - does anyone use it?

Same voicings can of course be found several defferent places on the PSG. That is what is fun because they all have a slightly different timbre.
Sometimes I will use parts of the scale shown on strings 1&2 to get from one position to another. If the halfstop lowering causes trouble one can use strings 3&4 to play the Maj intervals and strings 1&2 for the minor intervals.
Same scale shown on strings 4, 3, 2, 1 without lowering the 2nd string.

I use bits and pieces of this scale also for shifting positions. Also fun is to include the fret between to adjacent intervals like this.
