Locrian on guitar (B)
Locrian in B: B – C – D – E – F – G – A. 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 — it is the CAGED C form; the lowest tonic sits on the 5th string, fret 2, 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.
One box of Locrian on guitar is the start: the other 4 positions of this neck follow in the app. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and choose to start from the tonic or play the full box.
