Chord & FretBebop major on guitar (C)
Bebop major in C: C – D – E – F – G – G# – A – B. On the guitar, six strings open the scale into wide shapes — there is room to choose the region of the neck that sings best. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 3; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, fret 3, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its hollow wooden body gives every chord a warm, natural ring that blooms and fades on its own.
Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.
Read the dots by degree: 1 is the tonic (highlighted); the rest follow the scale's formula.
This is one shape of bebop major on guitar — this neck alone holds 4 more mapped positions. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; walk the scale's shapes along the whole neck, region by region; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
