For tab enthusiasts... I'm always looking for patterns for summarizing things and was trying to visualize the mandolin symmetry and the Circle of Fifths when you shift the scale patterns up or down a string and add a new line pattern to change keys. I came up with this:
It seems helpful for remembering how to shift the open scale over a I IV V chord pattern quickly and the relationship of the strings to the classic COF - shift it up for the fourth and down for the fifth.
I've not seen anything like this but maybe I'm reinventing the wheel. Maybe it will be helpful to someone else.
