Scalebusters 2 – 4ths

Back with another scalebuster for you. This week we tackle 4ths.

Below is the scale diagram from which I am drawing the intervals:

Memorize this scale with all downstrokes first then try alternate picking. After you are adept at the scale, then you are ready to tackle 4ths.

In the first part of the video I am playing plain 4ths. After that I demonstrate alternating 4ths.

Do both of these exercises with downstrokes first to memorize the left hand fingering. Once you have that down you can try alternate picking like I do in the video.

Eventually you want to learn these in all modes, and in all scales.

Happy Scalebusting!
