Notewize Electric Guitar:
Level 6

Level 6 of the Notewize Electric Guitar Lesson Pack introduces pull-offs, the C major and Dm chords, and the E minor and E minor pentatonic scales played as full 6-string scale shapes.

Warm-up #1: Pull-offs

Pull-offs are great way to transition to lower notes on the same string, without having to pick the string again. This warm-up will get you started with this important technique by playing pull-offs from fingers 4 to 1, 3 to 1, and 2 to 1.

Warm-up #2: Pull-offs

This warm-up contains new finger combinations for practicing pull-offs, including fingers 4 to 3, 3 to 2, and 2 to 1. This is a great warm-up to strengthen your fingers and prepare them for more lead-style guitar playing.

Scale: Minor Scale (Em Shape)

This 6-string minor scale shape is a bit different than other scale shapes, as you will need to stretch your fingers to reach some of the notes. It's worth the extra effort, as this scale can be used to play many popular riffs and melodies.

Scale: Minor Pentatonic Scale (Em Shape)

This minor pentatonic scale shape is the most popular scale shape used for soloing in rock and blues. If you're looking to explore more lead guitar riffs and solos, this scale is a must know!

Chord: Open C Major Chord

The group of chords know as the CAGED Chords consist of the open major chords C, A, G, E, and D. With the C major chord, you will have these 5 chords under your fingers and will have the ability to play thousands of songs!

Chord: Open Dm Chord

The Dm chord is not as common as the Em or Am chord, but is still a very useful chord to know. With this new minor chord, you will have a total of 5 major chords and 3 minor chords to use when playing rhythm guitar.

Technique: Pull-offs

Just like hammer-ons allow you to play a higher note on the same string without picking, pull-offs allow you to play a lower note on the same string without picking. This technique is extremely useful when playing lead guitar riffs and solos!
