Description

Guitar solos in the first position with chords, tab, and standard notation.
Fingerings are added to tablature as dots.

The key of G has basic chords in the guitar's first position:

All the open strings are notes that are in the G Major scale, EADGBE.
The I(G) and IV(D) chords have the same ring/middle finger shapes,
and the G Major scale can be fretted mostly within the first three frets.

Many solos like this can be made from similar songs in the Key of G.
The chords and melody usually blend well on the fretboard.

I credit René Heredia for this style of tablature notation.
I learned to notate fret hand fingerings with dots on tablature from him.

When I studied with René, he wrote custom songs for my abilities during each lesson.
He wrote music using a permanent marker (and made very few mistakes.)
His method of writing tablature with dots, stems, and strumming symbols was very clear to read, and his songwriting is wonderful.
