Those two options are the same pitch, to play it an octave higher try 9th position on the D string which will require a position change up to 14th position to play the 6th, 7th and octave on the G string. Another option is 7th position on the E string which can be combined with the third one mentioned above to make a two octave scale.

Little more help please. Go into detail - about first position, second position, --- 7th position on the E string -- 14th position, etc. What constitutes a position? Are you speaking of fret locations?

In the case of the 2nd, 7th and 9th position examples, the starting finger to play the root note, C, is actually the middle finger but the first finger determines position number and name. With regards to string name, I was stating which string the C is located on in each position.

You'll learn every scale, starting from anywhere IN the scale, on any point on the neck. And as a side-effect, you'll be automatically learning the modes too, if you're into that.
