Above is the A major scale shown in 5 positions. The root notes [ in this case A ],are shown by the black dots, the other notes in the scale are shown by the red dots. The roman numerals indicate the frets. This scale is transpositional and can be played in, and should be practiced in, all keys. However, donʼt try and learn all shapes at once. It is more important to know one shape well and be able to use it to solo, than many shapes and not be able to use them.
