I think I finally got this figured out. Any comments will be appreciated.
If I begin with box 1 using the A on the 6th string as my root note I should be in the key of A (A minor?). Then if I want to connect the boxes I would use the following frets/notes:
Box 2: begins with the C on the 8th fret, 6th string
Box 3: begins with the D on the 10th fret, 6th string
Box 4: begins with the E on the 12th fret, 6th string
Box 5: can begin with the G on the 2nd fret, 6th string or the G on the 15th fret, 6th string
I tabbed the box pattern using notes, frets/strings and fingers. I can send you a copy and would appreciate your comments.
My goal is to use the guide I made to connect the boxes so that I can learn how to cover the entire neck. I think I can extend the boxes by playing the 4th box in the open position and box 1 at the 17th fret.
What I really want is a course/program that emphasizes connecting the boxes with melodic patterns that go up and down the neck. Is anyone aware of that kind of course/program?
