The six major scale fingerings you have learned span two octaves. They are useful for playing in one position at the time. In the next two lessons, you will be shown four three octave major scale fingerings. These will eventually help you play horizontally (on the fingerboard, that is not while layng down), which is a very natural approach for all stringed instruments. When you start improvising with the mayor scale you will find that your ideas are very different when you approach the scales in the manner. You may find, depending on the length of your fingerboard, that your instrument will not accommodate a three octave scale in some key. Simply practice these fingerings only in keys in where the full three octaves can be played.
