The Movable Major Scale Shape
One pattern of frets plays a major scale in any key. Put the root on string 6, find its fret, and the shape does the rest. Numbers inside the dots are scale degrees, not fingers; the filled dots are the root (1).
Plain prints every note in black, without the color coding.
