Guitar Scale Finder
Find any scale on the guitar fretboard. See the pattern across the strings, the notes in order, and where the root notes sit.
The pattern below shows frets 0–12. Practise it in one position first, then move it up the neck.
C Major scale
Notes: C – D – E – F – G – A – B · Formula: W–W–H–W–W–W–H
Dark dots are the root (C). Play the pattern up and down, then try it starting at fret 0.
Notes in order: C → D → E → F → G → A → B → C (octave).
How it works: A guitar scale pattern is the same set of notes repeated across the strings. Learn one pattern and move it: the shape stays the same, only the root — and the key — changes.
