[p]Hey, glad you are working on those scale patterns!

Until you can get home to your electric guitar just play the same patterns in the lower frets. Or if it's patterns of repeating octaves, then start on E or F so you can finish at the high E string on the 12th or 13th fret. Both of those are usually reachable on a classical.

Hope that helps!
