I discovered a "magical" scale pattern while tinkering around with chord shapes. I noticed that the fretboard is designed in a way to make chords possible while strumming across the strings and staying within a reasonable number of frets (since we only have 4 fingers to work with). It is a great design. You can even "move" the chord shapes up and down the neck.

However, that same fretboard design messes up the scale patterns. It is why we need 5 different patterns to play the same scale on different places of the fretboard.

So I tinkered around with this some more and discovered a single pattern that works for every scale on every string and every fret up and down the neck. ONE SINGLE PATTERN !!!

Check it out and please post any questions or comments you have.

I would love to hear your feedback on this.
