The scale map #'s are ordered as the number of the root note when ascending. So if you start playing the pattern ascending from the lowest note for the position, how many notes do you play to get to the tonic? For the key of C Major in open position, there tonic occurs on the 6th note (E F G A B '''C'''), so the pattern is #6.

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.

The only change here from G Major to E Minor is to reposition the roots. All the notes are the same. Notice with the minor roots, our method of determining which pattern is a bit different. Before we looked at the location of the tonic note in reference to the lowest notes for the position. We can do the same thing here, but we have to add 2 to get the major root. For example, in open position, the low E is the lowest or first note of the pattern. Add 2 to get the #3 pattern, which corresponds to the major root, G, as the 3rd lowest note in the pattern.
