Hope it helps you! I am finding that the more I practice them, the less I depend on them.
There are 5 unique strings and all boxes consist of 2 4-fretters followed (or preceded) by 3 3-fretters.
Learn where the 4-fretters go for each box. There's a pseudo pattern from box 4 back around to box 3.
Box 4: 5&6 Box 5: 3&4 Box 1:1&2 and then, Box 2: 4&5 Box 3: 2&3 (1st 4-fretter is shifted)
String 1 = String 6 and vice versa
When you cross from string 3 to 2 you need to add a fret and vice versa
Minor Box Roots: 2nd 4-fretter 1st finger, 2nd 3-fretter 2nd finger
Major Box Roots: 2nd 4-fretter 2nd finger, 3rd 3-fretter 1st finger
Blues Notes (Major and Minor): Between the first 3-fretter and after the last 3-fretter.
