Two Octave Scales

Now that you know the two new notes presented in this lesson, it is possible to play two octaves of the G major scale.

Once you are comfortable with the scale over two octaves, try the following example. You previously learned this piece in the key of A major. This time it is played twice, using different octaves of the G major scale. Try doing this with other melodies you know.

This traditional Irish ballad is presented here in the key of G major. It uses notes from both octaves of the G major scale and goes right up to a high B note on the E string. Take it slowly and aim for a warm, singing tone.
