C scale in 3rd harmonies on the 3rd fret

Gary Reed · Posted 5 Sep 2012 6:35 am

I know how to play the C major scale on the 3rd fret, but can't seem to get 3rd harmonies in that position (staying on the 3rd fret - not going up the neck). Is there a tab somewhere depicting this?
I got the 3rd harmonies in C staying on the 8th fret.
Thanks

The modes are great! Thank you.
I really want to find the tab for the C major scale in 3rd harmonies at the 3rd or 15th fret.
You know, playing two string harmonies in thirds for the C major scale at the 3rd or 15th. If this is possible????

Plenty to do with all that!

I got to playing with B0B's tab and by extending it, found "Blue Spanish Eyes" might be a way to memorize the scale. Uses all or most of it. Just hum the song to yourself, it's mostly right there in this extended scale.

Harmonized Scale (extended) in "C" at the 3rd fret...
