um..... oh dear..... no I'm not getting that at all Bit of an explanation pretty please?! Jingle not got you to do this? He told me to use coloured pens and everything! But that was a while ago, so maybe he doesn't use this idea anymore. Ok, you recognise the guitar neck, and the frets etc.? and you familiar with those little chord box diagram things? same idea, the numbers represent your left hand fingers. These are visual pictures of the guitar neck, frets and strings, and they show where your left hand fingers will go to make a scale or arpegio (one at a time!) If you want to play one of the scales, start with the lowest note, and progress up 'til you hit the highest... then come down again.... or you can start with the highest note if you want....! same idea for the arpegio's (these are not like right hand arpegio's, where you hold a chord with the left hand and play PIMA or something, these are "left hand" arpegio's, where you are playing the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th notes of the scale - in a way that is a "true" arpegio) ok, if you still don't get it, at the top of the page you got E Phrygian scale. Start with the open E/6th string, then play the string again, but this time with your first finger on the first fret of that string, then play it again with your third finger on the third fret of that string, then play the open A/5th string, then play that string again with your second finger on the second string, and continue on up..... get it?
