Santa's Knuckle Busters - Gnome Level

Instructor: Richard Lundmark

Okay! For those of you Elves that have passed the previous example, it's time to advance to the level of Gnome!

You should all be familiar with the standard A minor (Aeolian) scale by now, so what we will do here is play that in various intervallic sequences. We'll start out with the most common one: thirds. This entails going up to the third scale note from whatever note you are currently on. Sounds perhaps more complicated than it really is. It is all very logical so just follow the tab and the video.

After thirds, I have also given you examples in fourths, fifths, and sixths. Sixths being the more cheerful and spirited of them all! (They are also great fun to play using hybrid picking!)
