Each image shows exactly the same pitches, but in different fretboard locations. This is a crucial concept that is particular to learning music on the guitar. This is because unlike some instruments (such as the piano), on the guitar you can play the same note in more than one place.

For example, from A-E notes on the 2nd image, I counted a total of 6 half steps (sharp 4th/flat fifth?) ...

Use this as your standard: one string up and five frets back. That will get you the same note on the low E, A, D & G strings. Since those strings are standard tuned at the 5th fret, that is where the notes will start to repeat themselves.

So, from the note E on the E string (12th fret), go one string up (over to the A string) and five frets back (7th fret). That is the same note E on both strings.

Do it again from the 7th fret of the A string. One string over to the D string, 5 frets back to the 2nd fret. Same note E.

Make sense? :)

The G to B string jump is 4 frets. So any given note on the G string is duplicated on one string up (on the B string) and 4 frets back. Then back to 5 frets for the B string to high E string.

Hope that helps. Ask more if necessary.
