Fingerboard section patterns in standard tuning.

Thickest String	3	4		5
Tip:
Using the 3 as the root note of a solo, one can explore the Phrygian sound.
Root note: G

Thickest String	3	4		5
Hints:
1. Alternating between 3 and 4 can create a sustain or release pattern in G Ionian.
2. Rock rarely uses a major 7 chord, but including the 7 is very common for jazz.
However, the 7 can be used better as an approach note to the root.
3. Playing the 3rd and the 7th together makes for great usage of a minor 7 chord if you have a bass player.
4. Usually ascend from 1 to 3 or 4, but not 7 to 3 or 4. 7 to 4 is a flat 5 usually doesn't sound good.
5. One good lick is chromatic approach note 7 to 1 and then 3 4 1.
6. Use 1 and 3 as a major dyad.

Tips:
1. Use the flat 9 for a Phrygian sound. Few people do, but I think its cool.
2. This pattern is great for sweep picking.
3. Also, use Bmin (1, 5, 3) or Bmin7 (1, 5, 3, 7) as chords to add to a solo.
4. Just use the index finger to make the minor or the min7 chord shape.

2. Ascend or descend.
3. Resolve the sus4 to 3.

Because they fit, it is such that they can easily be used together, especially in improved solos.
