Wrong code.
Back in lesson 1 I suguested that your fingers should be parallel to 
the strings, so that each finger relates to one string. This 
idea works well 
for chordal work where notes are spread evenly between the strings, 
but 
breaks down when we need to play scaler ideas.

To play melodies, you need to rotate your right hand from the 
"fourth" 
position, through the "fifth" position so that your fingers 
are pointing 
almost straight down. This should allow you to play with one 
finger per 
fret, much as you would with your left hand. Your thumb should 
be resting 
gettly behind the neck.

There's not really much to say about this technique, so lets 
try playing a 
major scale:

|------------------11-13-14-13-11----------------------------------|
|---------11-12-14----------------14-12-11-------------------------|
|---12-14----------------------------------14-12-------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
    2  4  1  2  4  1  3  4  3  1  4  2  1  4  1

Once you've got that, we can attempt a few simple tunes:

Merrily We Roll Along

|---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|---11----------|-11-11-11----|-------------|-11-14-14----|
|------14-12-14-|-------------|-14-14-14----|-------------|

|----------|---------|-----------|----------||   Watch out for where you

|-------16-|-14------|-(14)------|-(14)-----||   different strings
|----------|---------|-----------|----------||   consequutivly


These should all be played entirly with the right hand.

We can now go back, and add a bass line:


Merrily We Roll Along

|---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|---11----------|-11-11-11----|-------------|-11-14-14----|
|------14-12-14-|-------------|-14-14-14----|-------------|
|---5-----------|-5-----------|-0-----------|-5-----------|


|---------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
|---11----------|-11-11-11----|-------11----|-------------|
|------14-12-14-|-------------|-14-14----14-|-12----------|
|---5-----------|-5-----------|-0-----------|-5-----------|



I'll leave the other two as an exercise. Hint: they're both in 
the key of B, 
and only require I (B), IV (E) and V(F#) chords.

To finish the lesson here's two tunes to tackle - "Always with 
me, Always 
with you", by Joe Satriani, and the Stu Hamm version of "Linus 
and Lucy", 
both of which depend on this technique. Get the two halves working 
on their 
own before trying to play the left ands right hand together. 
"Linus & Lucy" 
is particularly hard in this respect, as the left hand part is 
a bit of a 
stretch (refer to the lesson on right hand ninths for some exercises 
to make 
this easier), and the rhythms of the two parts are awkward to 
fit together.


Always with me, always with You
|-----------|----------|-13-------|--------------|
|-----13-14-|-16-------|----16-14-|-13-14--------|
|-----------|----------|----------|-------16-----|
|-7---------|-7--------|-0--------|-2------------|

|-----------|----------|----------|--------------|
|-----------|-------13-|-14-13----|--------------|

|-13-14-16--|----16-14-|-13-------|-16----------||
|-----------|----------|----------|-------------||
|-4---------|-0--------|-2--------|-2-----------||

This should be pretty easy if you've managed the previous examples. 
The fingers 
point to the floor, except on the third line, where you move bac 
to standard 
position.
