Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply and trying to explain things to me.

Im afraid I've got myself into a real mental mess regarding moving the patterns.

I've looked at your tutorials for Cmaj, Amin scale etc. all of them.

I've got a book showing 7 patterns for the Cmaj scale. I think I've got myself in a mess because I can't find your patterns in these book patterns.

I think I'm slowly sorting it out in my head! I was trying to move your pattern (eg. the open Cmaj scale across. for example starting the pattern on the f note, D string.

I realise now that this cannot work.

Are the scale shapes/patterns different for different notes. Eg. Cmaj and A maj?

Has Guitar ticks got diagrams of the scale shapes? I've had enough of my book!
