I'm having a real problem understanding the major scale. I have learned Pent. Minor in all positions, and can easily play pent. minor in any key by just moving pattern 1 to the correct key/note on the 6th string. Major however doesn't seem so simple. I'm trying to learn the caged patterns for it, but it seems everyone says pattern 1 is different from what others have said. I see pattern 1 diagrams, but if it's a C scale for example it doesn't show the root starting on C on the E string, and the pattern beginning there. The patterns I find will usually start near fret 1 and show the root as C (3rd fret, A string), and notes played before it on the E string... so it's doesn't seem to follow the same principle as Pent. Minor. Is this explained anywhere in detail???
