Guitar?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In order to understand the notes in the E major scale on guitar, you need to know the <em>intervals<\/em> of the <em>major scale formula<\/em>. These are the distances between any two given notes on fret-board. They can have either a fret between them or not. Based on this, they are classified as <em>tones<\/em> and <em>semi-tones<\/em>. The major scale formula is <em>tone<\/em>, <em>tone<\/em>, <em>semi-tone<\/em>, <em>tone<\/em>, <em>tone<\/em>, <em>tone<\/em>, <em>semi-tone<\/em> or <strong>TTSTTTS<\/strong> for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The notes in the E Major scale are E F# G# A B C# D#. So, start by playing the root note on the open 1<sup>st<\/sup> string (E). The next note is a semi-tone away. So, hold down the string at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> to play the next note. The note after F# is G#, which is a tone higher. So play G# on the 4<sup>th<\/sup> fret. The next note is a semi-tone apart. So, play A at the 5<sup>th<\/sup> fret. The following three notes have the same intervals. So play B, C# and D# on the 7<sup>th<\/sup>, 9<sup>th<\/sup> and 11<sup>th<\/sup> frets respectively. Finally, play the last note on the 12<sup>th<\/sup> fret, which is the root note as well (E).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-major-scale-notes-fret-board-diagram-w.webp\" alt=\"e-major-scale-notes-fret-board-diagram-w\" class=\"wp-image-6669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-major-scale-notes-fret-board-diagram-w.webp 1024w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-major-scale-notes-fret-board-diagram-w-300x83.webp 300w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-major-scale-notes-fret-board-diagram-w-768x212.webp 768w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-major-scale-notes-fret-board-diagram-w-585x162.webp 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">As is the case with all major scales, the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> notes and the 7<sup>th<\/sup> and 8<sup>th<\/sup>  e major scale notes have the same interval \u2013 a semi-tone.

So, it would be wise to keep your fretting hand between the 11<sup>th<\/sup> and 14<sup>th<\/sup> frets of the guitar. This way, you can play all the notes on the 11<sup>th<\/sup>, 12<sup>th<\/sup>, 13<sup>th<\/sup> and 14<sup>th<\/sup> frets with your index, middle, ring and pinkie fingers.

B MAJOR<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/b-major-chord-diagram-w.webp\" alt=\"b-major-chord-diagram\" class=\"wp-image-6689\" style=\"width:282px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/b-major-chord-diagram-w.webp 502w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/b-major-chord-diagram-w-245x300.webp 245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s another popularly used chord. The B major is the relative major of F# minor. It is primarily made up of three distinct notes (taken from the triad ) \u2013 B, D# and F#. It\u2019s chord shape is derived from the A major chord\u2019s open position. To hold this chord shape, start by barring the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> fret with your first finger. Now, squeeze your middle, ring and little fingers and place them on the 4<sup>th<\/sup>, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 2<sup>nd<\/sup> strings at the 4<sup>th<\/sup> fret. With your picking hand, strum from the 5<sup>th<\/sup> string all the way to the 1<sup>st<\/sup> string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-c-minor\"><strong>5.

The C# minor triad has the notes C#, E and G#. The chord shape commonly held for this chord resembles the A minor open chord. To play C# minor, start by barring all the strings at the 4<sup>th<\/sup> fret. Next, push down the 4<sup>th<\/sup> and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/guitar-string-names\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">guitar strings<\/a><\/strong> at the 6<sup>th<\/sup> fret using your ring and pinkie fingers respectively. Finally, add your middle finger on the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> string at the 5<sup>th<\/sup> fret. Now, with your picking hand, strum from the 5<sup>th<\/sup> string, leaving the 6<sup>th<\/sup> string untouched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-d-diminished\"><strong>6. D# DIMINISHED<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/d-diminished-chord-diagram-w.webp\" alt=\"d-diminished-chord-diagram\" class=\"wp-image-6691\" style=\"width:302px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/d-diminished-chord-diagram-w.webp 512w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/d-diminished-chord-diagram-w-252x300.webp 252w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This may be an unheard-of chord name. Most diminished chords are rarely used. Yet, it is vital to learn the D# diminished chord as it is one of the relative chords in the E major key. It\u2019s triad consists of the notes D#, F# and A. All diminished chords are created by the 3 notes of their corresponding major scales by flattening the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 5<sup>th<\/sup> notes by a semi-tone. It is often represented with a <strong>\u00b0 <\/strong>symbol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">To play the D# diminished chord within the first few frets, start by placing your index finger on the 4<sup>th<\/sup> string at the 1<sup>st<\/sup> fret. Next, push down the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> string at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> fret with your middle finger. Now, stretch your little finger really far to hold down the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> string at the 4<sup>th<\/sup> fret. While keeping your little finger outstretched, try to push the 1<sup>st<\/sup> string down with your ring finger at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> fret. Strum from the 4<sup>th<\/sup> string to the 1<sup>st<\/sup> string, ignoring the 6<sup>th<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> strings. Keep repositioning your fingers until you can play it cleanly, without any unwanted buzzing or muted sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these chords may not be easy to hold down and strum. At first, try holding down each chord with your fretting hand and pick each note one by one until all the notes sound clean and bright, without any buzzing or muted sounds. Once you\u2019re good at that, try switching between different chords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Also practice all these chords with some strumming exercises along with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/metronome.html\">metronome<\/a><\/strong>. Start at really slow speeds like 50-60 BPMs. Gradually increase the tempo by 5 or 10 BPMs until you can comfortably play a couple of these chords effortlessly and transition between them smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"archive\" data-elementor-id=\"21428\" class=\"elementor elementor-21428\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-627b7f4f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"627b7f4f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-565cb75e\" data-id=\"565cb75e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ebb98b8 elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4ebb98b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=919789897600&#038;text=&#038;source=&#038;data=\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"80\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guitar-Demo-banner-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21496\" alt=\"Guitar Demo banner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guitar-Demo-banner-1.webp 680w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guitar-Demo-banner-1-300x35.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" loading=\"eager\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1355cea4 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1355cea4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=919789897600&#038;text=&#038;source=&#038;data=\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guitar-Demo-mobile-banner-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-21498\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Want to improve your Guitar playing skills?
