Locrian ♮6 on electric guitar (B)

Locrian ♮6 in B: B – C – D – E – F – G# – A. 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; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, fret 2, 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.

Climb it slowly and name each degree out loud before speeding up.
