An important technique for the intermediate level guitarist is position shifting. Sometimes the
range of a melodic passage exceeds the current position that you are in. During a passage
you may have to shift quickly to a higher or lower position on the neck. One method of notating
a position is to use a Roman numeral, i.e. "V" means 5th position (first finger at the 5th fret).
The first example is a C major scale in two octaves starting on string 5. This is a common fingering
that can be transposed to several other keys. It begins in the 2nd position on string 3 and as you
change from the note 'B' to 'C', you shift from the 2nd position to the 5th position. The note 'B' is
played with the third finger, and the note 'C' is played with the first finger, so you are not only
shifting positions but also changing fingers. It's pretty tricky so take it slowly and accurately.
Here is the shifting section isolated
so that you can do detailed practice
on the difficult section.
The same fingering can be used in other keys by moving everything up (or down) to a new starting
position. Using this fingering, the keys of Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, and G are possible.
Here is a two octave D major scale that uses the same fingering as the C major scale above.
