Features and Benefits of the Chart
- Note Names. Diagrams have beginner-friendly note names instead of generic intervals and other types of presentation you might not yet be comfortable with.
- Scale Formula: Notes that make up the G-Minor scale and its degrees formula are conveniently placed right above the diagram so that you don't need to look up another reference.
- 12 and 24 Frets: The charts are available in two variations: as 12 frets and as 24 frets.
- Highlighted Roots. Knowing where the root notes are is what differs this scale from any other scale within the same family of scales (i.e. relative modes). So it is very important to be aware of where your roots are and this chart allows you to locate them effortlessly.
- Doubled Frets: Fret numbers are provided both below and above the diagram, offering additional visual cues to pinpoint your location and navigate the fretboard with even greater ease.
