Chord & FretAeolian on electric guitar (A)
Aeolian in A: A – B – C – D – E – F – G. On electric guitar, the slimmer neck invites legato — the same fingering runs with less effort, and the high positions stay comfortable. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4 — it is the CAGED A form; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, open, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Plugged into an amp, each chord sustains for as long as you hold it, and the tone — clean or driven — shapes the whole sound.
Practice it tonic to tonic — hearing degree 1 at both ends anchors the scale's sound.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
A scale never lives in one box — Aeolian on electric guitar has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you drill it in Exercise mode — in thirds, pairs or sequences, with the BPM climbing every repetition; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
