Hi @BarbaraM , thank you for your feedback. Allow me to explain that 1 1 2 1 2 are the number of frets to “SKIP”, or in other words, the number of frets “in-between” notes on the strings B A G E D B. In the example you posted, you’re not “skipping” the number of frets, you’re traveling that number of frets, that’s why you’re coming up short (by one fret) of the C note. If you want to count or travel the number of frets between notes, just add 1 to each number above, yielding 2 2 3 2 3. When this approach was presented to me, I was taught to “skip”. But the way you’re doing it (“traveling” or counting the number of frets between strings to the next note) works just as well, but the numbers then are 2 2 3 2 3.
Hope this explanation clears any confusion, have fun.
