Hi everyone this is going be a long question so bare with me. I'm completely confused about scales.
As far to what I understand minor scales follows formula w-h-w-w-h-w-w and major scale follows w-w-h-w-w-w-h which is fine i get that. Say if i start with root note c and by following formula i end up with same note c just higher (octave ) and i can play that anywhere on the guitar and the only change is the key note. But when i go on guitar tricks ultimate scale finder and i want to find C major scale ( c major ionian position 1) it gives me all these bunch of notes and it doesn't even start on the note C it starts on the note A and finishes on the note C ?
I hope I don't sound to stupid, just need some help.
I uploaded the pattern, you can find it bellow....
Thank you...
