here's a chart I use with my mando and fiddle students that shows all the major and minor pentatonic scales.



It all shows the b3 b5 b7 blue notes, it looks overwhelming but it's just the same pattern all over the neck.



Major  = 1 2 3 5 6                  minor  = 1 b3 4 5 b7                 blue notes = b3 b5 b7

I did something like this years 'n' years ago........

The way I did it, I had a separate chart for each type of scale, this meant that there was many charts.

But... I could see immediately what the patterns were for each kind of scale,

then I would practice them all over the finger board until they were memorized

Your chart takes some deciphering.....................
