If you don’t know how to read the above example, find out how to read Standard Notation in this guide and how to read Guitar TAB in this guide. The below Guitar TAB and standard notation show four examples of the G Major scale starting on different root note positions: G Major Scale in Guitar TAB and Standard Notation If you’ve already spent time memorizing the C Major scale, it should only take a day or two of practice to fully memorize the G Major scale. Memorize the notes on the fretboard one string at a time.Practice scale runs between any two points on the fretboard (don’t just stick to scale shapes you’ve already memorized).Learn to find chord shapes that fit with the highlighted notes.Improvise over a G Major or E minor backing track by playing any of the above notes.Read my lesson on how to memorize the fretboard to get the most out of this diagram. Here is the G Major scale diagram up to the 12th fret with the root notes highlighted on each string: You also want to pay attention to the F# positions to help you switch into this scale from C Major. You want to pay extra attention to G because it’s the root note, so you want to be able to easily find those note positions while improvising or writing riffs. The main notes to focus on when you try to memorize this scale is G and F#. Here are the notes of the G Major scale across the entire fretboard: All you need to do to change from C Major to G Major is remember to raise the note F by one fret. This is why the G Major scale is so easy to learn after you learn the C Major scale.

As you can see, it’s the exact same notes as the G Major scale. The notes in the E minor scale are: E F# G A B C D. This is what the key signature for G Major looks like:Įven if you don’t know how to read music, if you see a key signature with only one sharp symbol, it means the music is in G Major (or E minor). The notes in the G Major Scale are: G A B C D E F# The G Major scale is easy to remember because it only contains one sharp note. This means you can use all the diagrams, exercises and chords covered in this guide for both the G Major scale and the E minor scale. Once you learn some basic music theory you will understand how two different scales can use the same notes, but for now, all you need to do is remember that both G Major and E minor scales use the same notes. Rock and metal tend to focus on this scale more than any other scale.
The E minor scale is an incredibly popular scale for guitarists due to the way we tune our guitars.
In the E minor scale, the root note is ‘E’. In the G Major scale, the root note is ‘G’. The main difference between the two (to keep things simple) is the root note of each scale. The G Major scale and the E minor scale both use the exact same notes.
This means for every Major scale, there is a minor scale using the same notes. A ‘relative’ scale is one that uses the same notes but is used in different ways. 6.1 Related Guides and Lessons: G Major Scale = E Minor Scaleįor every Major scale in music, there is what we call a ‘relative’ minor.
