In this installment I want to focus on the ‘C’ shape.

There are a couple of issues with this shape that make it undesirable in its present form.

One problem is that the fingering is somewhat awkward and doesn’t really lend itself to quick finger placement. The other problem is that it can sound muddy on the bottom if you’re playing with overdrive or distortion.

Here are a few variations on the theme:

These variations are all obviously much more manageable. So far, there’s not much to all this – the cool stuff happens when you see how these shapes fit together. The next lesson will deal with the ‘E’ shape and how it interacts with the ‘C’ shape.

See you next time.
