Three notes per string
F# Major — Three Notes Per String
All 7 three-notes-per-string positions for the F# major scale, drawn on the neck between frets 1 and 16.
Swipe the neck sideways to see the higher frets.
Three notes on every string gives the F# major scale exactly 7 positions — one starting on each note of the scale, 18 notes apiece, together covering frets 1 to 16. Each shape is placed at the lowest fret its starting note allows, which is why position 7 starts on E# down at frets 1–6 instead of carrying on up the neck. Move any of them twelve frets and you have the same shape an octave higher.
