martian: well, in my own words - you're playing all the notes from the c-scale, in the section of the fretboard where you'd be playing the 'c-form' of c. pop up to the 3rd fret or so, pick out the same notes, more or lesss (starting from the g on the top string), and you're going through the a-form/position of c. up to the 5th fret, and you're in the g-form...7th, you're e-form, and around 10th fret you're in d...i.e. c-a-g-e-d. of course, if you start this whole thing on the g-note of the top string, but pick out the notes as though you were in the c-form position, you're playing the c-form of the d-scale. you can pretty much find all the different phrygian/myxlodian/etc within those forms by starting the scales on different positions. granted, it's been years since i actually did it, but i really should start back to that type of practice. hell, i can barely remember this shit anymore..you're tinkling little bells that are rusty rusty rusty. if i recall correctly, there wasi/is another popular fret-board organization approach called the 'zone approach'...i remember a lot of people saying that learning them both and understanding how/why they were different was pretty useful...i never did it. of course.
