All of the scale diagrams which follow show moveable chord positions. They’re called this because they can be moved up and down the fretboard to create different kinds of scales in different kinds of keys. The black dots indicate where the root notes of the scale are located in the pattern. All of the scale diagrams are in root position; this means that the first and the last note of the pattern is the root note of the scale. Line up the black dots with different notes across the fretboard to create scales in different keys. The numbers in the captions show the scale formulas for each scale. Major scale 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 Natural minor scale 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7 Harmonic minor scale 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-7 Ascending melodic minor scale 1-2-b3-4-5-6-7 Descending melodic minor scale 1-2-b3-4-5-b6-b7 Minor pentatonic scale 1-b3-4-5-b7 Major pentatonic scale 1-2-3-5-6 Blues scale 1-b3-4-b5-5-b7 Dominant bebop scale 1-2-3-4-5-6-b7-7 Major bebop scale 1-2-3-4-5-b6-6-7
