Hey everyone,
I'm on Guitar Fundamentals 2 Chapter 2: C major scale for beginners. I'm trying really understand the principles behind the guitar. Chris kept saying to go ''5 frets back and one string over.'' as a way of making the distance between notes on the scale shorter. What exactly is going on when you do this? Why does this work? I've been trying to understand that concept instead of just memorizing the idea but I don't quite get it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
