CAGED Open Scale Patterns

These patterns can be used in your soloing and to play
over their representative open chords. As usual I have
included at least 2 diagrams for each pattern. The 1st
diagram shows the pattern with it’s correct fingerings
and the second diagram shows the chord counterpart that
they are associated with.

The A, E, and D style patterns have some notes that cannot
be played in the open position with the same patterns,
therefore I have relocated those notes on adjacent strings
(all are on the 4th fret). This may be a little awkward
for some people so I have included a 3rd diagram with these
patterns without the relocated notes. Spend some time comparing
these patterns with their movable forms.

A tab example with audio shows the open scale pattern
played off of the open chord it is named after.
