Simple question I can never find the answer too , thx!
Yes. You're just moving down a few frets but the patterns are ecaxctly the same just in a different fret position.
With that in mind, It's useful to practice all positions to get your brain used to playing in different keys. A mistake that many people (including me) make is to always a lot of practicing in the 'A' positions. It's easy because the fretboard is layed out so nicely in 'A' that it becomes too easy to just hang there.
Even after a few decades of playing, I find myself falling back in to 'A' when I want to noodle around.
