We've gone quite a distance down this rabbit hole & I think you are missing some very basic, fundamental scale concepts. So before you start trying to cover the fretboard with complex patterns, try this:

[quote=iiiiiii-0]Just to clarify the CAGE system and the patterns you teach are the same patterns, just taught in a different way?
Yes, they are all just different ways of looking at the patterns that notes make on the guitar. I think CAGED can be useful. But without understand the basic concept of a major scale it can be misleading because it doesn't necessarily explain why those shapes exist.
Have a look at that tutorial I linked above!
