The scale pattern of the major scale on the guitar fretboard. The only difference between the two representations is the numbers in the
lower one that show the whole notes. The vertical line after fret 12 means the pattern starts all over again from there, the next four frets
are repeated only for the sense of understanding. Just slide the pattern over the fretboard until any root note (1) box is on the note
(or key) you want to play in.
