That WWHWWWH thing was the best thing ever for my finicky mind. So if someone took the various scales and said.
Major Scale: WWHWWWH
Minor Scale: blah blah blah
Pentatonic: blah blah blah
Then I could memorize them all pretty quickly on the single string and then move that to the box scales.
Okie dokie. These W-H patterns are actually written under each of the diagrams posted on the first page of the thread.
Major Scale: WWHWWWH
Minor Scale: WHWWHWW
Major Pentatonic Scale: W W W+H W W+H
Minor Pentatonic Scale: W+H W W W+H W
(That W+H means a whole and a half, or 3 half steps. Pentatonic means it's a five note scale)
