→Understanding the Patterns
|}
We know from the prior [[1st String|1st string lesson]] that for a given major/minor scale, there are 2 of each pattern that occur, plus one additional whole-whole (<tt>|o|-|o|-|o|</tt>) pattern. As we ascend from low (thick) string to high (thin), the patterns go in order - 1(x3), 2(x2), 3(x2), then repeat. As you go from the #1 pattern to #2, you shift up one fret; and as you go from the G to B string you shift up one fret. As you can see in the last scale map above, when these both occur on the same string transition, you end up shifting up 2 frets.
