1. Watch the video and view the scale chart to see how to practice major scale pattern 4, and which fingers to use.
2. Practice playing the pattern SLOWLY in ascending order (going “up” in pitch) and then back down in descending order (going back “down” in pitch). Make sure you’re using the right fingers and playing each note “well”. Do NOT go fast.
3. Your #1 goal is to MEMORIZE major scale pattern 4 and be able to play it WITHOUT looking at the scale chart. Once you are reasonably comfortable playing major scale pattern 4 “up and down”, move on to the next lesson.
