The five positions
Read each diagram high E to low E, top to bottom. Shared edge notes connect neighboring shapes.
Scale
The blueprint: an interval formula that chooses which notes belong.
Key
The anchor: the root note that gives a scale its tonal home.
Position
The movable grid: five overlapping shapes that carry the same notes along the neck.
One chord. Five shapes.
Follow the roots through C → A → G → E → D. Your familiar E and A barre forms are two stops in the same loop.
