Emir Hot3rd September 2009Great topic. Everyone should learn to move all across the fretboard with no problems. This lesson is great for that. Well done

Muris Varajic2nd September 2009Useful indeed, well done Vasilije.
Pedja Simovic2nd September 2009Very useful lesson Vasilije. Playing same melody in different positions is very important in order to unlock whole guitar fretboard and work on different fingering possibilities.
Kristofer Dahl2nd September 2009Great topic Vasilije!
If your goal is complete improvisational freedom - you need to be able to play a line anywhere on the fretboard, and of course also be able to visualize your scale boxes regardless of where you are on the guitar neck.

Hi GMC!
I will demonstrate one way of practicing scale positions on guitar, using 4 different positions across the neck. We have lead melody which is later played all around the neck, sometimes all is played in one particular position without moving your left hand, sometimes the left hand is moved to reach higher frets.
This is a very complex lead line we have here with intervals skipping and arpeggios, so keep in mind that you really need to know the scales all around the neck for being able to achieve positions change in real time. Also, it is good way to practice positions changes by taking simple line, or pattern and moving it all around the neck. Arpeggios used are A# minor 7, D# 7, G# maj7, C# maj7, A# dim7, F minor.Enjoy!
Regards!
