Practice the D# Ionian Augmented sound
- Say and play the scale: Play D# → F → G → G# → B → C → D → D# up and back down, naming the degrees 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → #5 → 6 → 7 → 1 as you go.
- Hear its defining tones: pause on B (#5) before landing on D#. Listen for how those characteristic tones color the phrase.
- Connect the positions: Work through all 7 position charts. Start in Position 1 (frets 11–15), then repeat a short phrase from the root in each shape. Use the full fretboard chart to find the next D# as you move between positions.
