F Major — Three Notes Per String

All 7 three-notes-per-string positions for the F major scale, drawn on the neck between frets 0 and 15.

Swipe the neck sideways to see the higher frets.

Three notes on every string gives the F major scale exactly 7 positions — one starting on each note of the scale, 18 notes apiece, together covering frets 0 to 15. Each shape is placed at the lowest fret its starting note allows, which is why position 7 starts on E down at frets 0–5 instead of carrying on up the neck. Move any of them twelve frets and you have the same shape an octave higher.
