You'll notice you only encountered 3 patterns for each group of 3 notes:
* |x|-|x|-|x|, or whole, whole. I call this one stretch, because it requires you to stretch a bit.
* |x|-|x|x|, or whole, semihalf. I call this one ring, because it uses the ring finger.* |x|x|-|x|, or semihalf, whole. I 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:
