When creating a riff and you are stuck and you don't know where
to go from, you can add a pattern to take you into another riff.
A pattern can use any notes on any string anywhere on the fret
board as long as they fit the pattern.

-Here is a pattern (* signifies note)
G|-----|
D|-*-*-|
A|-*-*-|
E|-----|
Some Eamples Would Be...
G|---------|---------|-----1-3-|
D|-----3-5-|---------|-1-3-----|
A|-3-5-----|-----5-7-|---------|
E|---------|-5-7-----|---------|
As long as you play the low string first then move the the high
string it will fit.

-Another Pattern (* signifies note)
G|-----|
D|-*---|
A|-*-*-|
E|-----|
So Some Examples Would Be...
G|-------|-------|-----1-|
D|-----3-|-------|-1-3---|
A|-3-5---|-----5-|-------|
E|-------|-5-7---|-------|

-One More Pattern (* signifies note)
G|------|
D|--*---|
A|-**-*-|
E|------|
Some Examples...
G|---------|---------|-------1-|
D|-------3-|---------|-0-1-3---|
A|-2-3-5---|-------5-|---------|
E|---------|-4-5-7---|---------|
This Pattern Can Also Be Played Another Way...
G|---------|---------|-----1---|
D|-----3---|---------|-0-1---3-|
A|-2-3---5-|-----5---|---------|
E|---------|-4-5---7-|---------|

Just as an addition, major scales are constructed like so:

G|------|
D|-*-**-|
A|-**-*-|
E|--*-*-|
123456

The notes underneath the fretboard show the number of frets, to show the spacing between notes.
