→Patterns
* <tt>|x|-|x|x|-|</tt>, or ''whole, half''. I sometimes call this one ''ring'', because it uses the ring finger.
* <tt>|x|x|-|x|-|</tt>, or ''half, whole''. I sometimes call this one ''middle'', because it uses the middle finger

In the major scale, these are the only patterns you'll encounter. There are 2 middle, 2 ring, and 3 stretch patterns. Let's look at the scale:
|-
| half/whole || (E F G) || (B C D)
|}
Now the order is a little different, but there's still 3 whole/whole, 2 whole/half, and 2 half/whole patterns.
