At the same time, notes past the 12th fret are a little more awkward
to reach, especially those notes on the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings,
where the hand has to make an arching reach. Fortunately, for
extended solo on those top strings, the same notes are found a little
lower on the neck. The same tone of the top 6th string E note may be
found on the 5th string, five frets down. Can you see it on that
chart below, the one labeled " fifth and sixth combined?" The E string
on the 6th string is the same tone as the E string on the 5th string,
7th fret.
1 3 5 at Fifth
3 5 1 at Sixth
5 1 3 at Third
Let' s have a look at the notes on that scale. The red stars signify
the Root note, which is the A note. It is an eight note scale with a
flatted third. Instead of starting out like the maj or scale with Root
- Whole Step - Whole Step - Half Step - Whole Step - Whole Step - Half
Step, pattern, which would be the typical A Maj or scale step pattern,
[ A - B - C# - D - E, F# - G# - A ]
The minor scale step pattern is Root - Whole Step - Half Step - Whole
Step - Whole Step - Half Step - Whole Step. The result is:
[ A - B - C - D - E - F - G - A ]
Pretty amazing, don' t you think, that all the accidentals become
naturals.
Another way of looking at it is to take the maj or scale,
this case, and flat the three, six, and seven.

Verse
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power,
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour,
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Saviour' s side
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
When the Bridegroom cometh, will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright?
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
There' s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O, be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Chorus
Are you washed, in the blood,
In the sould cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless, are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

This ends Part Five of Learn The Neck (Guitar for Geeks) by Ed
Shaw. As with Parts One, Two, and Three, this Part Five is assigned to
Creative Commons, Fair use. All material is either original by myself or
arranged or transcribed from material in the Public Domain, such as

Applying scale knowledge, the students must learn to play the
melody of all enclosed songs in each position of the neck. It is
recommended to stay with the key of C maj or in learning the neck in this
way.
The final part of this series, Learn the Neck, Part Five -Positions One and Two, will be posted soon.
Best wishes and good luck. Hope this is of some help.
Sincerely,
