playing a scale on the examples you showed, leaving out the 4th string and starting from the 3rd works for me. but when playing from the 4th string to the 3rd doesnt work cos the 3rd string is an octave lower.

“You start on the first note of the scale (the root) and move up two frets to the second note, then another two to the third, up one to the third note, up two to the fourth, up two to the fifth, up two to the sixth, up two to the seventh and finally up one to the octave. The distances are: 2,2,1,2,2,2,1.” Is there a mistake here? “Third” is mentioned twice (“another two to the third, up one to the third note”), and according to the written instructions, the distances are actually 2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1 (one extra 2). Or am I missing something?

For many of the scales, is the same patarn, just move one fret down, if you start with a D scale as the one at the top of the site, next fret will be a Eb scale, thats the same as D#. and one more fret down is E.

Oh!!! NOW I get it!! Why the heck didn’t anyone ever tell me this before.

I agree … holy most useful post ever batman!!

You just changed my life.

In one week I’m playing simple solos over the top of my favorite songs.

Patterns are much easier to remember than the locations of all the actual notes … what the heck … brilliant.

Thank you so much for this gem of a post. It’s gold I tell you … gold!!
