Scale diagram

Guitar scale patterns repeat across the fretboard at each octave. Fret 0 (the open string), fret 12, and fret 24 all start on the same notes, one octave higher each time. If you want to change key or mode, you can move the same pattern up or down the fretboard.

Try viewing E Minor, then F Minor, you'll see that the whole pattern moves up one fret. The "Relative Major" of E Minor is G Major, and you will see they have the exact same layout on the fretboard. The major and natural minor scales share the same notes. Click and/or drag to play the scale notes.
