I’ve recently discovered that if I split the guitar into 3 sets of 2 string sets. I can cut and paste and repeat these patterns on each string set. Allowing me to cover three octaves at a time while only remembering a 4 or 5 note pattern. Very handy indeed. I’ve included many mode patterns here for you to see how this all lays out on the fretboard.

The diagram below is G Aeolian pattern. This is a 4:3 pattern. 4 notes on one string, 3 on the next. Repeat for each string set.
