F♯ Locrian scale on guitar
Every position of the F♯ Locrian scale on the guitar neck, with tabs and fingering.
The darkest mode, built on a diminished triad — rare, unstable and haunting.
Mode 7 of the major scale: the same notes as G major, starting from its 7th note.

Play from the lowest note to the highest, then back down. Use one finger per fret: your index finger covers fret 2, and shift your hand slightly for the wider stretches. R marks the root — the home note to start and end on.
