with the above patterns ( coming from the CAGED system and yes, learning from two different systems is confusing ) remember that from the fifth pattern the last 2 frets are the exact and overlapping notes from the first 2 frets of the first pattern, best way to get your head around this is to draw all the notes of a scale on an empty fretboard and outline each pattern there and then you will see what Chris playes.

The disadvantage from the CAGED system is to get over the barier presented between adjacent patterns and then being able to play all over the fretboard without even thinking of patterns.

Best way is to stick with one system and the GT system learns you to play all over the fretboard without any problems that the CAGED system has.
