One minute fretboard tip with Ari
Theres a figure on the fretboard that I call the crab. I call it the crab because it helps you with position shifts by one fret, This is what the crab looks like:
[ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari demonstrates the Crab 🎵🎵🎵 ]
small hand stretch - small hand stretch...
the other way:
[ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari demonstrates the Crab 🎵🎵🎵 ]
small hand stretch - small hand stretch...
play a major scale using the crab:
[ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari demonstrates the Crab 🎵🎵🎵 ]
In my Pattern System there are two patterns that have the crab in them - Pattern two: [ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari plays Pattern 2 🎵🎵🎵 ]
and Pattern Six: [ 🎵🎵🎵 Ari plays Pattern 6 🎵🎵🎵 ]
if you need to move position, Crab it!
