Below are the locations for the note of A.

Next is a C major scale in all patterns across the fret-board. It would be too tricky to identify Low, Mid and Upper so grey has been used for all of the notes as default, it does not mean that it is all from the Mid shape.

Here is an A minor scale in all patterns across the fret-board. Likewise all in grey for the same reason as above.

If you examine the above two diagrams you might notice they actually share the same notes, the only difference being the location of the root note. C major and A minor are known as relative. In musical terms when something is relative this means it shares the same notes. C major is the relative major of A minor, A minor is the relative minor of C major. Every major has a relative minor and vice versa, this would go some way to explaining the minor keys from the key signature chart; they are relative to their corresponding major keys and vice versa (don’t forget that C major and A minor contain no sharp or flat note names so their key signature has none either). Below is another example of relative major and minor…

G major scale in all patterns across the fret-board (the relative major to E minor).
