Hey, that's great Whune! I know what you mean about flying through the first parts, and "knowing" you've already got it right... it gets a bit tougher further on, but you're right, a lot of the time you can pretty much tell if you've messed up or not. Turns out that Guitar Center carries frettboard work-paper which I like, saves me trying to draw it out by hand, or constantly printing off from the computer.

Yep, those five patterns are gold! Glad to be of help!
