E MAJOR
standard
Drop Back**** E Major guitar runs**** To use these charts, simply hold the named string at the numbered fret and run up, down, and randomly at the named frets. These examples work in any key if you adjust the starting point to a fret that has the name note of the key and then use the same positioning relationships. Incidentally, the names are merely how I refer to these forms. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E) 0 2 4 12 A) 2 4 9 11 12 -- 14 D) 2 4 6 11 -- 13 14 16 G) 4 6 -- 9 13 14 16 -- 18 B) 7 9 16 17 -- 19 E) 7 9 12 16 17 -- 19 2nd STRING (OCTAVE) Discordant MAJOR SCALE E) xxx 0 2 - 4 0 2 4 5 A) 7 9 -- 11 0 2 - 4 2 4 -- 6 D) 7 9 -- 11 0 2 - 4 2 4 -- 6 G) 7 9 2 - 4 2 4 -- 6 B) 7 9 10 0 -- 3 4 5 -- 7 E) 7 9 10 0 -- - 4 4 5 -- 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
