Guitar Nine Focus: Chromatics
The word chromatic in music means two or more consecutive notes that are a half step (1 fret) apart from one another. A guitar chromatic scale contains all 12 possible pitches before arriving back at the starting note name an octave higher. Among other things, playing chromatically can be extremely useful in the context of practice, extending your ability and hand strength across the entire fretboard.
Here are some great columns to help you master this essential technique.
