Here is my very simple question.....

the scale finder says "this" is pattern 1 and "this" is pattern 2.
Is that a hard and fast rule? To be "patten 1" you have to do exactly that pattern? If you just decided to play one or two notes in different places while doing "pattern 1" does that make it in-valid?
Because you can play the same note in different places then technically you can have a million (exaggeration) variations of a pattern....right?

Does that make any sense what I have asked? :rolleyes:
