The B Locrian Scale - Position Seven

The B Locrian Scale consists of the follwing notes:  B C D E F G A B

The B Locrian Scale starts at Position Seven, meaning we place our first finger (index) on the seventh fret, our second finger (middle) on the eighth fret, our third finger (ring) on the ninth fret and our fourth finger (pinky) goes on the tenth fret.

Before moving to the next step, practise placing all four fingers on all four fret positions on all six strings.  If you have trouble reaching, try to relax your wrist and make sure that your elbow is not touching the side of your body.  Once you are comfortable with playing all the frets, move on to the next step.
String     Finger          Fret
E            1 2     4        7 8    10
A            1 2     4        7 8    10
D            1     3 4        7    9 10
G            1     3 4        7    9 10
B                2    4           8    10
E            1 2     4         7 8    10

Practise playing this scale forwards and backwards
Remember to stay on the TIPS of your fingers
Try your best to play TO A BEAT, tapping your foot is a great way to keep a beat.
Practise saying each note as you  go (B C D E F G A)
