Yes @Cadgirl , that is what I want you to see👏🤩👏 Now to add a little more detail;
When the 1 chord is made from an E shape, the 4 & 5 chords will be made from an A shape where the 4 chord will be barred at the same fret as the 1 chord and the 5 chord will be barred 2 frets toward the body of the guitar (up the neck). Let’s call this pattern 1, just to give it a name.
When the 1 chord is made from an A shape, the 5 & 4 chords will be made from an E shape where the 5 chord will be barred at the same fret as the 1 chord and the 4 chord will be barred 2 frets toward the headstock (down the neck). Let’s call this pattern 2, just for the hell of it.
These 2 patterns will remain constant no matter what key you are playing (major or minor) when using the E Family & A Family of barre chord shapes. As a nice way to tie this into the CAGED system as taught in FW2, the scale patterns for the E shaped chords and A shaped chords are the same except the E scale shape is rooted on the lo E string and the A scale shape is rooted on the A string.
Saying all this stuff about scale patterns has reminded me that I need to go back to the CAGED system section in FW2 and go over those scale patterns for myself!
