3 NOTE PER STRING SCALE SYSTEM
The name says it all. This a favourite of many shredders and jazz fusioneers. Its main advan-
tage is twofold; the rst being extended range and the second is visual symmetry.
Here’s the standard G major scale from the CAGED
system ( in this case - E chord type pattern).
Here’s the same G major scale stretched
out as a 3 note per string pattern. As you
can see, there’s more range.
Notice the nice symmetrical 2 string groupings? With this system all the major scales and evenmore importantly, their modal derivitives will contain just 3 visual segments. Great !
The group on the E and A strings goes TONE +TONE
(remember a tone = 2 frets apart ).
On the D and G strings goes SEMI - TONE + TONE
(remember a semi - tone = 1 fret apart ).
The group on the B and E strings go TONE + SEMI - TONE.

This is how it pans out going up the entire neck using the G major scale. The next pattern after7. is an exact duplicate of pattern 1 up an octave higher.
Check out the G blues scales as a three note per string pattern.
If you’re suicidally brave - try a
minor pentatonic scale as well.
