Locrian ♮2 on guitar (F)

Locrian ♮2 in F: F – G – Ab – Bb – Cb – Db – Eb. 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 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 6th string, fret 1, 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.
