Composite Blues Scales

'A picture is worth a thousand words.' For what it's worth, I saw patterns in here that helped me memorize, much more quickly, the composite blues scales, not from a box perspective (which one could do), but more easily from a root note perspective. Now I can quickly play either blues major, minor or composite from any given root position.

Sorry for the limitation of spreadsheet software, i.e. displaying strings as rectangles, etc. But I'll assume you get the idea. It was more the colors that seemed to be most helpful for me to see the 'patterns' IMO.

Note: In the course material, Lesson 10 (SBS), the box patterns can be slightly different in that Griff may have moved/duplicated the flattened 5th (blues note) (in the '5 notes on one string' pattern) to the next string primarily from a playability perspective (I did query Griff on this).
