The Little Guitar Book That Could

This LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD here showcases the prevalent C A G E D guitar chord and scale sequence exclusively in the TWELFTH POSITION, for all to see and use. But, before using the book, there are some things the guitarist needs to understand. In this book, the TWELFTH POSITION consists of a six consecutive fret area and it spans two octaves plus a perfect fourth when in standard tuning. It's modus operandi for the second & third fingers to remain stationary in their respective frets as the stationary qualities of the fretting hand allow the first and/or fourth finger to stretch or slide a fret. Regarding the picking hand, a useful string pattern occurs near the sound hole or bridge. This is best evidenced in the TWELFTH POSITION when the C A G E D note sequence begins with the G note on the thinnest or first string. Pluck the G on the first string, then A on the third, C on the second, D on the second, E on the fourth and end with the G on the sixth. The string pattern is looped forwards or backwards in that the G notes are located on either the first / third / sixth string(s). Other terms that need to be addressed are main root notes, octaves and unisons. Main root notes represent a specific set or cluster of root notes that typically fall under the second & third fingers of the fretting hand. However, there are two specific instances in the TWELFTH POSITION when the first and fourth fingers are used. Following main root notes are their octaves and unisons. An octave is defined as the interval between one musical pitch and another with half or double its frequency, and in guitarland, octaves are usually "one string one fret away". However, on occasion, there will be two strings and/or two frets involved. And last are unisons, which occur when two or more music notes happen to sound the same pitch. So that's it! Just open and enjoy, and thank you for choosing THE LITTLE GUITAR BOOK THAT COULD!...
