OK I will look at that. Before you replied, I took a look at your modes course and noticed the Ionian pattern you mentioned is similar to the pattern mentioned above however only for the first octave

It seems to be using a combination of two different patterns?

Argh, definitley down the rabbit hole. I'm used to the musical theory aspect of TTSTTTS

however not with the guitar, so will also look at the first course you mentioned!

Thanks again :D
