Harmonizing the line (Guitar II)

One way to make a single-note line sound fuller and richer is the use of harmonization. The most common harmonization is the use of 3rds or 6ths.

The following photos show a harmonized scale. The first photo shows the scale (FMajor) on the top string and the harmony note on the lower string (3rd string).


The second photo shows a scale (CMajor) in which the harmony note sounds on the higher string and the scale note on the lower string.


Try experimenting with the sound of the harmonized scale. Try sliding into the shapes. Try chromatic movement between the shapes.
