Mixing Lines & Spaces of the Staff

Now, we mix. If we were to play these notes in order from Middle E to High G, we are stepping up the scale. When they are all naturals, we are in the scale of C Major [the 'upper half'].

Stepping is playing the next available line or space up or down from the note we are playing.

To Do with All Staff Notes

Play these 10 tones while saying the following [go through each point while playing the scale]:

1. Note-tone name - EFGABCDEFG
2. Note-head location [line and the corresponding number]. Line 1, Space 1, Line 2, Space 3. Or, these are the ones - line/space, then the twos - line/space, etc.
3. String/fret combination
4. Each tone's everything: name, notation location, fretboard location. Go in order, plus separate by lines and spaces, as we have done.

See the note-head on its line or in its space, in your mind, as you say/think any of the information on the list.

EFGABCDEFG = C Major's tones. Starting on the E, the scale is E Phrygian; if you play these tones for long enough (a few seconds), the C tone on string 2, fret 1 will sound as the final (at home, resolved).

Do these & think on these things until you know, that you know it.
