Following are studies in the Key of E...these can be fairly advanced...so take your time in your efforts to learn these patterns. With these scale studies, you will be developing both your left and right hand dexterity. You will become far more proficient at learning new material or taking on any musical setting challenge.

Notes: Used an alternating picking pattern between the thumb and index fingers. Down with the thumbpick and up with the fingerpick.

The Key of E is rare for Squareneck Dobro...by learning these patterns you will find yourself becoming more proficient with your bar positions and more knowledgeable of the possibilities when needing to play unichordal positions. For instance, when a song is played in the common Key of A, many times the E chord will be played where these E scales can be applied.
