REQ: Roadmap Options

[MickeM]

Kristofer, I'm requesting some theory. An easy approach to the fretboard, there are other cources called fretboard physics and fretboard roadmaps as examples to what I mean.

I mean something like, instead of the box-approach which I think is somewhat umpractical, to learn the patterns for scales and modes instead as:

A-minor has notes of 1-3-4-6-8-9-11 (ABCDEFG)
and a pattern;

Starting on the 5'th fret on the E and A string the pattern looks like
A 5-7-8 (DEF) (notes 6-8-9)
E 5-7-8 (ABC) (notes 1-3-4)

and the same pattern is repeated on strings;
G 7-9-10 (DEF) (same as above 6-8-9)
D 7-9-10 (ABC) (same as above 1-3-4)

and then repeated, the same pattern, on strings B/G (with one steps adjustment on and E/B

If you get what I mean?
But... instead of learning all patterns for all scales and modes, there must be a simpler way. Or? Would be great if you could teach it in that case.
