Melodic patterns not only make great exercises for learning the fingerboard, but they are often the basis for the melodies of fiddle tunes. “Blackberry Blossom,” for example, starts with a simple four-note melodic pattern that is repeated twice in a descending sequence. In this lesson, Scott shows you some simple melodic patterns, gives you ideas on practicing them (in open position as well as closed positions, and moving up and down the neck as well as across the neck), and shows you how you can find melodic patterns to practice in tunes you already know.
