Question about Winnie Winston Pg 28

Post by Sherman Willden »

Why does the third scale end on the A+B pedals? Why didn't Winnie stay with the B+C pedal?

This is probably elementry and can go either way and should be practiced both ways but I thought there might be something I'm overlooking.

Thank you;

Sherman

He's implying that the last chord is E major, not C# minor.

Acutally, in scale #3, I think he's demonstrating "mixing and matching" part of scale #2 with part of scale #1. Knowing multiple ways to play the same thing will make you a more versatile player.

The first 5 measures of the scale are similar to scale #2 (root on 4th string, and uses BC pedals).

Then for the last 3 measures, it jumps to a different string-pair (root on string 3 and uses the AB pedals). This is similar to what is shown for the last 3 measures of scale #1. Only it's one octave lower (12 frets lower), and here, the scale is rooted on string 3 instead of 6 (but they are the same note, so you can use either string, right?).

I hope that makes sense.
