Chord & FretBebop dominant on cavaquinho (G)
Bebop dominant in G: G – A – B – C – D – E – F – F#. On the cavaquinho, four steel strings pack the scale into a short, bright space — there is nowhere for a note to hide. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 3rd string, open, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its four steel strings give a bright, sharp attack that cuts through the mix and drives the beat.
Climb it slowly and name each degree out loud before speeding up.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
