In this lesson, Sharon explains how the major scale is constructed so you can find a major scale in any key. This is important because bluegrass singers often sing in keys other than the usual keys of C, G, D, and A you’re probably used to playing in if you’ve mostly been playing fiddle tunes. She also explains key signatures, which tell you how many flats or sharps a key has, and shows you how many sharps are in the the C, G, D, and A scales, and how a sharp is added to each key as you move around the circle of fifths. She also shows you two major scale finger patterns you can use anywhere on the neck.
