Specifically, on pp. 159 (US edition) they give two scale diagrams for CMaj:
This makes sense... the scale is there in the standard position. The "X" is where C is a black filled circle. C +8va on the 3rd fret is also highlighted in black.
This does not make sense to me. I understand it, but what is the purpose? Does practicing like this (starting on D, or other non-root notes) allow you to start anywhere mid-fretboard? I've only really seen the big diagrams that go all the way up to 12fr. before (as on pp.161).
Again - I understand the how... not the why of diag. 2.
Code:
Position #1: C major scale
O||-|2|3|-|-|-
O||1|-|3|-|-|-
X||-|2|-|-|-|-
||-|-|-|-|-|-
Code:
Position #2: C major scale
||-|1|2|-|4|-
||-|-|2|-|4|-
||-|1|-|3|4|-
||-|-|-|-|-|-
Again - I understand the how... not the why of diag. 2.
