Now we're simply going to write out the C major scale with a meter of three, four, using coordinates only. So the first thing I'm going to do is just put our treble clef and we're going to put our Tom signature three, four and divide the state into four bars. I'm not going to use a double bar line at the end of this state because I want to carry on to the next one. And so we're going to start on middle C. And we're just going to fill in three quarter notes per bar. CD if G, A. And notice that we've got all upward pointing stems at this point.
Soon as we get to the B, the stems begin to point down. B, C, D, E, F, G and G is going to be our highest note we doing the C extended scale. And of course g is the note on the third third fret of your high E string. Okay, now we're going to carry on to the next line, and we're going to fill in the treble clef. Now remember that we only fill in the time signature once at the beginning of a piece of music. If we had a key signature, we would fill that in on every line.
But since We're in the key of C, we don't have a key signature. So all we need on this line is the treble clef with eight underneath. And I'm going to fill in the bar lines. And we're going to continue back down now from G. So coming back to F, E, D, C, B, A, C and D are pointing down and of course a is pointing up again. g, f e The back to middle C and we're going to continue past mu C to the lowest load we can. And Okay, so once again we're going to fill in that treble clef.
Now we're on the node A, which is the second ledger line below the state. And that's your open string. g f, if And of course our lowest note the open Eastern not gonna stay on that he because it's not the tonic. Just gonna put these bars in. So we're going to come back from the mode e to the night see again. E, F, G A Hey B, and C. Because we finish there, I'm just going to put a double bar line to show that we're, we're finished.
Now, of course, you don't need to use quarter notes only for writing in three, four time. You could use, for example, eighth notes. I'm not going to do the whole thing, but just to give you an idea of how that might look. C, D, E, F, G, A and we're going to just make those all eighth notes grouped into two notes at a time. And then of course, we could just carry on from there, you know, the B would then have done pointing stem, B, C, D, E, F, G, and then we could carry on like that. It's a good exercise to do to do different subdivisions of the beat.
And we could also do a different note grouping. For example, we could do we could just do a half load Followed by a coordinate for example, just for argument's sake, you could do any combination you want, of course. So we're going to start again on the middle C, half note followed by coordinate. And I'll just advise if you're going to be playing these examples on your guitar just to stick to the same phrasing. So if you start on eighth notes, use all eighth notes. If you use a grouping of half notes, followed by quarter notes, stick to that phrasing the whole way through the scale.
So we just carry on that E and if cornered and you would just continue like that.
