G Locrian Mode Positions On The Guitar Fretboard
G LOCRIAN MODE
‘G Locrian’ is the 7th mode of the A flat major scale. The notes in G Locrian are:
G – Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F
If you have read the post on understanding the locrian mode, you will know that the locrian mode contains a ‘flat 2′, a ‘flat 3′ a ‘flat 5′ a ‘flat 6′ and a ‘flat 7′ (parallel approach). You will also know that it is the 7th mode of the major scale (derivative approach). The locrian mode is a very ‘dark’ sounding mode and is probably the hardest of the 7 modes to get acquainted with. Let’s briefly look at how to construct G locrian using both the parallel approach and the derivative approach.
Parallel Approach:
G Major has the following notes:
G – A – B – C – D – E – F#
If we ‘lower’ the 2nd note (A), 3rd note (B), 5th note (D), 6th note (E) and 7th note (F#), we get the following:
G – Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F
Derivative Approach:
G is the 7th note of the Ab major scale:
Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F – G
If we play the G major scale and start on the 7th note we get the following:
G – Ab – Bb – C – Db – Eb – F
Let’s look at the G locrian mode in the different positions on the guitar fretboard:
Positions Along the Fretboard:
Firstly, let’s look at the open position:
Now let’s look at G locrian in the 3rd position (lowest fret is 3)
Now let’s look at G locrian in the 4th position (lowest fret is 4)
Now let’s look at G locrian in the 8th position (lowest fret is 8)
Now let’s look at G locrian in the 9th position (lowest fret is 9)
Finally, let’s look at G locrian in the 12th position (lowest fret is 12)
That covers the 5 basic positions and the open position of G locrian along the guitar fretboard.
