You are welcome!
[QUOTE=dksucharda]...but on the 6th lesson when the pattern goes beyond 1 octave and includes shifts to move up the neck and play on the G,B,E strings I lose you on the shifts as you come down.

Yes, those are pretty advanced lessons, so I go quickly to keep the sound of the scale flowing.

Descending, I play:

A - pinky
G# - ring
shift
F# - pinky
E - middle
D - index
down to B string
C# - pinky
B - middle
A - index
slide down index to
G#
down to G string
F# - pinky
E - middle
D - index
down to D string
C# - pinky
B - middle
A - index
down to A string
F# - pinky
E - middle
D - index
down to E string
C# - pinky
B - middle
A - index

Hope that helps!
