F# Major Scale In the Open Position

In this exercise, we will learn how to play an F# major scale in the open position of the guitar. The F# major scale contains the notes F#, G#, A#, B, C#, D# and E#. When we play scales, it is important to use the correct finger for each fret, so we will use the same finger numbers as fret numbers for these scales. The 1st finger (index) will play the 1st fret, the 2nd finger (middle) will play the 2nd fret, the 3rd finger (ring) will play the 3rd fret, and the 4th finger (pinky) will play the 4th fret.

It is important to play each scale using alternate picking, with each note alternating between downstrokes and upstrokes, and using a metronome at a steady, moderate tempo. Make sure to take notice of the key signature, and adjust the positions of the notes accordingly.
