First I would identify where all the notes of the Major Diatonic Scale (key of C perhaps), between the nut and fret 12. From there you can easierly find where the broken chords occur.

B Diminishedsorry for sounding n00b.. but whats "Bo" no puns please![]()
I think the intent was to tell him to learn chord construction so he doesn't have to rely on someone else's diagram. Not "dissin" the diagram as you say^^I don't think it a good idea to try and tell people what they should and shouldn't be doing. for example "no need for patern diagrams"Standard music notation is a type of diagram that shows various patterns of melody, rhythm, and harmony, is it not?
Everyone develop's there own way of doing things i.e. experience. people "see" music in many different ways, whether it's patterns, numbers, letters, graphs, notation, tab etc. My example is just one of many ways of illustrating a harmony (chord).
Dis some else's diagram![]()

The scale charts are everywhere but is there anyone on the net who could be bother to write down the common arpeggios for 4 STRING and ALL over the fretboard. Not just tiny box shape.![]()
