→C Major Layout on Fretboard
As you ascend positions, this necessarily moves the tonic note lower by 1 note. This means the patterns actually occur in reverse as you ascend the fretboard, as you can see in the diagram above.

All we've done is moved the patterns leftward by 5 frets...or raised them by 7 frets. Going from C to G is a P4 downward and P5 upward, which correspond to -5 and +7 frets.
