Hello UU. I was directed to ask this here. I apologize in advance,
I write really long posts. I've only been playing for a year & 5 months or so, so I consider myself a beginner, and ended up in dumbed down alternative classes during my school years. So i'm kinda dumb.
I couldn't find it anywhere I had looked, so I decided to make an exercise to put the circle of 5ths on my fretboard. I started it in the key of C. (I can memorize note names, as well as the key for reference at the very least.)
Copy of question: (It was kinda cleared for takeoff. Ty!)
----
I am trying to fit the C major triads into compact shapes. (Can’t find this anywhere) I started from the low C on the G string for the first one. This seems wrong although it fits down the center of the neck, it seems like a 7 fret span is too large?
(Number in ()’s is string # below. Other numbers are the tab. Low G)
I -CEG (4)5,9 (3)7
ii -DFA (4)7 (3)5,9
iii -EGB (3)4,7 (2)7
IV -FAC (3)5,9 (2)8
V -GBD (3)7 (2)7,10
vi -ACE (2)5,8 (1)7
vii° -BDF (2)7 (1)5,8
Since there’s 6 instances of each natural note on my uke (16 frets, -basically 6.. D & F! ..) Should I be trying to jam everything in smaller patterns based around each root?
If the above is correct, I should be able to do this in at least 3 spots right? Open middle and high?
I’m not trying to be a pain btw. I just need to know if i’m on the right track please? (And if trying to jam triads in the tiniest areas possible is actually useful eventually overall, or a waste of time.)

Secondary question that may not apply if the above is nixed.
If I add in the 7th to the above (not to build a chord, thats impossible with the pattern) I should make sure to keep it a higher note than the rest of the triad right? (For basic key/chord note, memorization purposes not possible inversions and whatever else happens when the notes are stirred up.
I should keep the notes to build it in order to keep the 7th out of the basic triad order?)
Example: So the building blocks would be CEGB or 5(4),9(4),7(3),7(2) To keep it in the fretboard area I have (hopefully correctly) set above?

Thank you in advance to anyone who reads all that btw. Hope it makes sense.
