Part 1: Moveable Interval Patterns
In Aguado’s “The Guitar Taught by a Simple Method” (1836?), the maestro gives examples of interval patterns that can be shifted up and down the fretboard. This is a very worthwhile exercise, as you can learn many intervals very quickly through using this method of practice.
Aguado covers a significant number of intervals, but for now you will only focus on 3rds, 6ths, 8ves and 10ths. Each moveable exercise is accompanied with a study that uses the patterns from the exercise.
1. Shift each interval up the fretboard
2. Say the notes as you play them

Part 2: Study
In the study below, use the given information to help you find the interval pattern from the exercises.
- Ensure that you fret all bracketed notes before playing
- Identify the quality of each interval (major, minor or perfect)
