Guitar Theory - How To Make A Box Shape
In this video, we go thru the first half of making a box shape, which is usually to establish which notes are in our scale or chord.
If we think about the open strings on a guitar as EADGBe, those open notes, together, comprise half of the notes of an E minor pentatonic scale.
If you bar all of the strings on any fret, those notes will be half of the minor pentatonic scale, and the key will be where ever your hand position is.
The box shape is important because it lets us just pin down all the strings, like a capo, and use this half notes as the anchor points, from which to reference the other half of the notes.
Using a box shape allows you to just plant your hand in one hand position, and play either chords, or scales, or both, without much effort, which allows the guitarist to focus on other things such as singing.
