I know there are countless posts and videos on harmonized scales, but I made a little diagram that's helped me remember all the starting spots for thirds and sixths, the butter of playing the steel. I love using Joe Wrights grid format. Thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested or it helped them.

Good work, Aaron.
I'm sure you're all over this, but those starting-frets and the associated pedals & knees are also the same places to get a G chord if you add another string to the grip. That's my mental framework for finding at least the starting place for thinking about harmonized scale work up and down the neck. |

Thanks Tucker. Yes I take that same approach too.
Knowing where the Root and third is for 3rds and 6ths, helps me remember where the 1 or home is. For instance, I used to play harmonized lines but assume I could play strings 3 and 5 at Fret 3 to resolve but usually, it sounds better if I resolve at Fret 3 on strings 4 and 6. Both of those are not "home". |
