Moving Across The Neck Among Scale Boxes Options

[JohnMathew]

Hi,

I have been practicing scales (Just diatonic open/closed shapes and pentatonic for Am) and I would liketo know how do you pratice the shifting of boxes along the neck. I mean, I can move verticaly in a scale box but it is really difficult for me to move horizontally using seconds, fourths, etc... along the neck across differnet scale positions.

Is there any way to improve this hability and any way to test the progress?

P.D: One idea that has come to mind is for example moving through the boxes taking tonics as a reference but for me it still is pretty difficult to move around using this trick.

Thanks.

If you look at the dark circles they are the boxes to memorize...There just 1 stringset of the pentatonic patterns horizontally. I put open circles on some of the lower notes to have a reference where the patterns lay....can you see the same pattern on the top string set as the bottom stingset, just a different box shifted over. Same as the middle string set.
