Bebop dominant on electric guitar (G)

Bebop dominant in G: G – A – B – C – D – E – F – F#. 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 5; the lowest tonic sits on the 6th string, fret 3, 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.
