We're starting here with Pattern 4 of The Five pattern (CAGED System), based around the A Shape barre chord it can be a little tricky to visualise but it's not hard to play!
The most common alternative is to move the last note on the second string (played with 4th finger) to the first string (then played with 1st finger). I prefer this position because it is very common to add that note (it is the 4th degree of the scale) to make a suspended sound and this is the place where you would add it.
Another alternative is to add a note a tone above the top of the scale as shown, but then it becomes a 3NPS (Notes Per String) scale which is another system that we are not doing here...
• There is only 1 pair of string with the same fingering, Strings 4/5 - so this one takes a little more thinking.
• Can you see the way it climbs?
• The shift of position happens with the same fingering.
I find using visual tricks like these might help you remember it. You'll also find working on visualization might help - practice your scales away from the instrument!
All my Scale Patterns (where possible) have 17 notes (3 notes on each string, except for one string which will have only 2 notes). This gives you the perfect number for practising scales with a metronome because if practised with 4 notes between each metronome click (16th notes, semiquavers) you will always arrive back on the root note on the beat :)
Music Theory is like a magical ingredient that will help you connect everything: notes, chords, scales, and how it all comes together in keys - so you can finally play freely.
