→3 Notes Per String
# w-h
|}
''Three note per string'' patterns contain the same notes as their fixed position cousins; however, they employ a positional shift between 2nd and 3rd strings so each string contains 3 unique notes. There are a few benefits to this:
* It is easier to derive the full scale patterns for any position using the whole/half analysis above.
* Each pattern extends one note higher than the fixed position pattern
* The picking pattern is consistent ascending or descending through all the strings. One string is (d u d), the next is (u d u), and this repeats for the next 4 strings.
* The left-hand knows each string has ''w-w'', ''w-h'', or ''h-w'' patterns, not any of the 2 note ''w'' or ''h'' patterns which can be more confusing.
