Major scale simple theory: C major scale

Dear All,

 
Let us discuss most important and basic scale Major scale.
Twelfth Note Theory, In our guitar there are so many keys or notes. Each note comes again after 11 Notes with one octave more frequency. I mean each 12th notes in guitar has the same sound but with a high frequency (high pitch). 13th notes has an octave difference in frequency.
Notes are named in an order from C---> C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C(12th from C).
Major Scale is a combination of 7 notes with fixed intervals. These intervals are 1,1,0,1,1,1,0 . It can clearly understand with this given image. Interval notes also writen on right side of two adjacent notes.

As this major scale has started from note C, hence it is called C Major scale. So a typical C Major scale contains the notes
C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C(next octave C)
Do remember intervals 1101110, for a major scale.
Practice a mojor scale starting from any note in any string.

Best Guitar Exercise, chromatic scale

Best Exercise for Beginners,
Playing chromatic scale is the best exercise for beginner or intermediate level guitarists. It gives the grip on the fretboard or making finger muscle.

Chromatic scale is pretty simple as follows:
Goal of this exercise is to apply four fingers on four frets in sequence, for this below tabs (chromatic scale) use first finger for 4th fret, second finger for 5th fret, third finger for 6th fret and at last pinky for playing 7th fret.
Do this exercise from 6th (lower E) string to 1st ( higher E) string.

E ---4-5-6-7---------------
A -------------4-5-6-7------
D-----------------------4-5-6-7------
G---------------------------------4-5-6-7-------
B-------------------------------------------4-5-6-7-----
E-----------------------------------------------------4-5-6-7-----

Now move again from 2nd string to 6th string
E ---------------------------------------------4-5-6-7---------
A------------------------------------4-5-6-7--------------
D-------------------------4-5-6-7-------------------
G--------------4-5-6-7-----------------------------
B --4-5-6-7-----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
Now move one fret down, play 3, 4, 5th and 6th fret...
then play 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th......
now 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th fret.. Do this exercise daily at least 15 mins to have stronger grip on your six string instrument.

For the guitar beginners

Guitar having six strings,

if we play strings without closing or pressing, following notes will be sounded.
rectangular vertical boxes called frets.

6th - top string - E (E note sound will come if we play it open)
5th - 2nd top string - A
4th - 3rd from top - D
3rd - 3rd from down - G
2nd - 2nd from down - B
1st - 1st down string - E


in tabs diagram we see, those like fig A, fig B
the number represented the fret where we need to press string in any corresponding string. Direction from left to right in the tab diagram shows the flow of notes, (or the sequence of flow).

For below diagram, we have to start from 6rh string(bcoz, leftmost fret no. is there in 6th one only),
play 1st fret at 6th (topmost thik string)
then 2nd fret at 5th
then 3rd fret at 4th
then 3rd fret at 3rd
then 2nd fret at 2nd
and at last 1st fret at bottom string.


6 ----1
5 ------2
4 --------3
3 ---------3
2 -----------2
1 -------------1
