Hey everyone!
We've got another video up on Level Up Your Guitar on YouTube.
You can watch here...

This video is a melody from the opera Carmen by George Bizet.
Why did I choose a vocal aria?
Well there are two reasons...
1. It's a chromatic scale (a scale where you play every fret in a row)
So you get to use ALL four fingers.
This is great early on as it gives you a chance to gain strength in your third and fourth fingers.
2. Playing in Positions.
This is HUGE. And I MEAN it.
Playing in a position is where you have four different frets to play.
Since we are using ALL four fingers, you can ASSIGN each finger to one fret.
Think of it like your finger is a person and each fret is an apartment. No one goes to a different apartment unless they are specifically invited.
Understanding this and seeing this pattern quickly will make you play FASTER and SMOOTHER.
This maybe the MOST important technique to understand and get right.
If you have any questions PLEASE email me back or hit me up on Twitter or Instagram.

Keep PLAYING!
