Hey GMC,
I learned to play minor, major, pentatonic minor, pentatonic major, blues scale in boxes and patterns. I search the forum and the net for boxes or patterns for harmonic minor and the melodic minor scale. But I only found modes or 3 notes per string diagrams. So I made my own patterns, but is it right what I do? For example: A harmonic minor Pattern 1: Pattern 2: Pattern 3: etc..

Thx for the reply MonkeyDAthos. Just found boxes on internet who use the same notation.

It's a good idea to know your boxes. Then, start moving between them, and shifting between one and other by using slides,

There are two basic approaches that you can apply to these scales, 3 note per string approach and CAGED approach. But, the goal is to acquire skill to handle the whole pattern equally well in all directions, no matter where you start and where you go. As daniel said, knowing boxes is good for starters and for learning the scale, but later, you should focus on connecting the boxes as much as you can, in all places possible, so you achieve a good flow.
