All the exercises in this group emphasize the lower notes of position I and include notes too low for position VII. If you're not used to reading note on ledger lines, see the DFE section on “Hairy Notes Outside the Staff”. Or if you mistake a low E (below three ledgers) for low G (below two ledgers), visualize the E minor diatonic triad with notes E-G-B stacked neatly in neighboring spaces. That's the lowest triad on a guitar; the rest is easy.
This adds the seven notes at the bottom that are too low for position VII. The others you already know from exercises in first and seventh positions.
Scale 7. A diminishing return.
Scale 8. The big bumblebee.
