:::''* usually unplayed double notes''
So that's a lot of information. Let's break it down. There are 7 notes in the common major/minor scales. Any one of those notes can be the lowest note available for whatever position you are playing in - that gives us 7 different patterns of notes if we restrict ourselves to a 5-fret "box". In any of these 7 patterns, the tonic note will occur in 1 of 7 places:
# 5th string, 3rd note
# 4th string, 1st note
For the major scale, these correspond to the patterns listed above.
