Play Faster With 3NPS Patterns for the Major Scale

Hi everyone! Are you striving to shred on guitar and embellish your solos with fast technical runs?

The system that excels at this specific task is called 3NPS which stands for "patterns with 3-notes-per-string". Now, don't get me wrong, that's not a magic pill that will solve all your problems, but it's a foundation that all your future practical work builds upon. This should not be discarded if your area interest is playing really fast. In fact, if you're not yet using it then that might be the sole reason which is holding your progress back.

I've already released a lot of charts for 3NPS but, as I do with all of my work, I approach the subject from different perspectives. It's like with the Circle of Fifths, it's so much more than a wheel which tells you the number of accidentals in the Key. You just need to know what to look for in it. Likewise, the focus of my previous 3NPS charts was to show you how to learn scale patterns (and scales) more efficiently by not dismissing the things you already know but instead use that to learn new material and see how they are related.

With this series of 3NPS charts that I'm starting now you see them in context—stacked and aligned horizontally to provide a clear visualization of how they progress along the fretboard, how they relate to one another, where they line up, where adjacent patterns are, and just be focused on a single 3NPS pattern.

Since now your attention is not devoted to seeing the difference between the scales, but rather to the pattern itself, then your mental resources are now free for other things, such as building speed. If you follow the link, there I give more details about how 3NPS can help you with achieving that goal. Also, I bring up the subject of Economy Picking and how it can boost the speed even more.

The charts for the Major scale are already available in all 3 common variations that I usually produce: with beginner-friendly note names, as generic intervals and as blanks for those who like it clean!

3NPS Patterns Made Easy: Phrygian vs Minor

Let's continue the series of learning 3NPS scales by comparison. This time it's all about exotic Phrygian!

Notes of the scales in this reference chart are shown as intervals, and as you will see for yourself, having them visible instead of concrete note names allows us to easily make the necessary adjustments to the scale patterns to match the difference we see in the formulas of the scales that are being compared!

Download here

In the near future I will post a variation with beginner-friendly notes names as well, so check back later!

CAGED system: simplified view for beginners

I’ve made a series of charts to help you see 5 fundamental CAGED chords (which you already know) on guitar fretboard and how they interconnect to create what’s known as the CAGED system. Diagrams do not represent 100% of the system because their intent is different—they are simplified versions so that you could really see the concept clearly.

One of the diagrams makes familiar open chords appear prominently. Another diagram takes you a step further and shows the same chords in the context of their surrounding pentatonic scales—this aims to show you why a particular CAGED pattern is named after the shape of a specific open chord; the only difference with the full scale version is that the full scale has a few more notes to the patterns (7 instead of 5), but I’ve chosen pentatonic scales precisely because of a better clarity. And yet another diagram shows you that these open chords are, in fact, movable and highlights where they overlap. You'll also learn from this chart that all 5 shapes give you exactly the same chord despite their names, shapes and positions—that's an insight you need to realize early on. It might twist your mind just a bit, but nothing complicated there! For example, if we move all 5 shapes simultaneously to the right by just 1 fret, the shape names will remain the same, but the chord they will produce will be C# for each and every shape. Hopefully that makes sense!
