start by thinkin that G major is also E minor, and A minor is also C major. if your minor root is A, then the c major box applys also (just one step and a half up from the 5th fret) this pattern works for all keys. there are more boxes that apply but one thing at a time. but try to remember that they all slide up and down the neck if you are in A minor and slide the key up one whole step to B minor, then all the boxes move and your major is now D major.
