It starts as F maj, ......
Anyone else?

[Tom Gross]

It's just F Major, isn't it?

..and D natural minor and all the other modes of F.

Yep, it is Fmaj all the way. Thanks man!

[MrFig]

I agree, Fmaj

[Dan Desy]

Yep, F major here too... And I thought this would be hard! :)

[darial]

Ditto, it's a 3 note per string version of F major with the root on the first string, first finger. It's usually the first 3-note pattern most people learn.

[sundialman]

The pattern seems reminiscent of the "nashville" pattern for guitar.

[Brewer]

My money was on E#maj!

[Marty Gilman]

If you could write the example as notes, not tab, it would be a lot easier for me and many others. You might also have more easily answered the question yourself.

Yeah, I believe that is the nashville pattern for a major scale on guitar:cool:

[Ripcom]

I picked my guitar up and played it and thought "doesn't sound like a major scale to me".......... then remembered I'd dropped the E to a D...... Doh!:o

Fmaj it is then.:rolleyes:
