W W H W W W H is the major scale pattern

Whole step
Half step

The chords are made up of triads 1,3,5

You already know the musical alphabet, 5th string for instance is A is the open string, A# is the 1st fret, B is the 2nd, C is the 3rd, then C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, the next A should put you in the 12th fret.

By knowing the name of the strings, you can use this to figure out the notes on the other strings as well. I hope this helps, and good luck to you.

yes after working out the the string numbers and the application of frets to intervals i get it now.It,s another dimension using strings instead of keys but exactly the same in that the note & scale intervals are the same and one just works ones way along a string using fret intervals exactly spaced like note keys on a keyboard.No mention of enharmonics in the tutorials though ie an interval being either sharp/flat in relation to a relative key.
