→Whole-Half Patterns
</pre>
|}
Notice we end at the same exact shape we started with, and lo and behold the notes are exactly the same - although the strings are lower than the original 3 by one half step, we are playing 1 fret position higher now. From here, if we continue the scale, we will simply repeat the same set of patterns.
This is powerful stuff. Each w/h pattern occurs in at least pairs of adjacent strings. If we know the 3 notes in our key on a single string, we know the string either above or below will have the same pattern. '''Ascending, we know that the w/h patterns go in this order: 3 w-w, 2 h-w, 2 w-h, then repeat.''' When we change from w-w to h-w, we shift our index finger placement upwards 1 fret.
