8. A Minor Scale

In this video, the teacher and class perform an A natural minor scale in first position with a fixed finger right hand approach as part of the Level 2 sequence. While performing the scale students play each note four times while saying the name of the note on beat 1. While this scale is very similar to the previously learn G major scale, it involves a shift to play the A on string 1, in fret 5, with finger 4.
