Interesting... I'm find that playing the scale of B is a real challange. By the time I reach the E on the a string I am nearly a semitone out of tune?!
- The first finger on each string doesn't seem to be low enough!?
- The 2nd, 3rd and 4th seem to be in alignment but all too sharp?!
- The correct intonation sounds wrong?!
This might be because I have been practicing this mistake. Perhaps the ear can learn to love something that is out of tune...
To resolve this I've found that focusing on the related scales (g# and E) in the cycle helps. Tragically, these scales with a similar key signature also suffer from an outrageous move towards a 'higher' note. Why am I playing my sharp scales sharp?! I wonder if I play my flat scales flat?! (to be continue...)
Why is the intonation for this basic major scale currently beyond me?!
