Using the guitar scales 22 fret system we automatically take care of the question of "what fingering should I use?"

Most guitarists and guitar method books promote 5 fingering patterns called various names e.g., CAGED system, Berklee system, GIT system etc The fingering generally varies from teacher to teacher. The five fingering patterns are good for teaching students how to read in a certain position on the guitar.

The guitar scales 22 fret system of 3 notes per string system is an efficient and effective way of covering the entire fingerboard and doesn't lock us into a *pattern* remember I'm NOT thinking of patterns I'm only thinking about the NOTES in a particular key.

Our first project using the guitar scales 22 fret system is to play all the natural notes over the entire fingerboard. This would be the same as playing all the white notes on a piano.

Eventually as we progress through this concept you will design the best fingering for the particular musical situation.
