Look & Learn
The recommended fingering for the 1-3-5 arpeggio is middle, index and pinky. The blue dots indicate the strings and notes to be played individually.
The A Major chord is formed on the second fret by barring with the index finger. The strings with an X are not to be played. The strings with the blue dots are the closed notes within the chord to be played collectively with the open A string indicated by the red dot.
The fingering for the G Form Diatonic scale is pinky, middle and index on the second string, pinky, middle and index on the third string, and pinky and middle on the fourth string to be played in a decending motion first and then in an ascending motion to G# (sharp) on the third string.
Finally, play the A major chord a second time.
Glossary
An arpeggio is a type of music chord. Rather than playing the notes at the same time, as it is done in a chord, an arpeggio plays the notes quickly, one followed by the other.
An aggregate of musical pitches played simultaneously on a guitar
A fret is a raised portion on the neck of a stringed instrument, that extends generally across the full width of the neck. On most modern western instruments, frets are metal strips inserted into the fingerboard. On historical instruments and some non-European instruments, pieces of string tied around the neck serve as frets.
Frets divide the neck into fixed segments at intervals related to a musical framework. On instruments such as guitars, each fret represents one semitone in the standard western system where one octave is divided into twelve semitones.
"To fret" is often used as a verb, meaning simply "to press down the string behind a fret."
In music, primary pitches of a key or mode arranged within an octave. Scales are distinguished by the pattern of the intervals between adjacent notes. A scale can be seen as an abstraction from melody—that is, the pitches of a melody arranged in stepwise order.
