Guitar Theory - Box Shape - Root Notes
In this lesson, we continue on from the previous two lessons, which were,
to build a bar barre, with the pointer finger and/or thumb, as an anchor point,
And then to use the other 3 fingers to explore all reachable notes, following the “1 finger per fret” rule.
In this exercise, we kind of ignore the frets, and just let our hand relax and melt into the string/fret matrix.
Everyones hands are unique in size, and therefore everyones hands will fit differently at the 5th hand position.
As you can see in this video, when my hand is relaxed, my pinky finger cant reach the 8th fret.
While i could theoretically stretch my fingers out to reach the 8th fret, that would require more effort, and we are trying to work toward effortless playing...
So as you practice this box shape up and down the neck, you will find that each hand position feels slightly different than the adjacent hand position,
Ranging from feeling like the frets are too far apart,
to feeling like the frets are too close together.
And somewhere in between those two extremes, there is a sweet spot, where the distance between the frets fits your relaxed finger spread better than anywhere else on the neck.
Find this sweet spot hand position, and just noodle around there for a while.
