I've got a fun topic for you guys today! This is something Bob Culbertson talks about on his old video about the universal scale, and I felt zooming in on this topic would be helpful. As always, exercises and more are available at . Enjoy!

You posts are always welcome to this Stickist, and yes, "easy to digest". I had mine with yogurt and fruit. Now I'll put down my bowl and pick up my Stick!

Good topic! I have eaten, slept and breathed 3 note per string scales for most of my adult life, they carry over to the Stick really, really well.

Keep it coming, Josh!

Thanks you guys.

Scott, i feel with the straight 4ths tunings the 3 note per string shapes are even simpler on the stick than on the guitar. You've been playing guitar a lot longer than i have though, what do you think?

Yep I totally get the 3-1 same shapes all over thing. I am particularly geometrically minded and it's so nice. Honestly, that stuff is such a relief to me because there's already so much that makes the Stick a difficult instrument that at least I don't have to worry about the geometry.

Speaking of geometry, that's interesting that that isn't the way you naturally see things. Are you more of a "see the line of notes" guy like how I imagine horn players to be?

Hahaha hey if it works it's not dumb!

As opposed to the one finger per fret concept, these are also called "extended fingerings" since your "type A" covers five frets and utilizes a stretch.
Very useful for the whole tone scale
