I was trying to play the lead guitar with a jam track from Eric Clapton’s “I’m Tore Down” and I had trouble seeing how the five patterns worked together in the key of C. I decided to paste some little dots on the neck of my guitar in the correct locations for the five patterns. This allowed me to much more easily see which notes fit into the scheme and which to avoid. To keep this from becoming a crutch, I’m going to begin removing them one pattern at a time until I’m back to standard neck.
Let me know if this helps you with your soloing.

You’ve duplicated what Fretlight, the guitar maker, does electronically. And you only need one guitar….sorry John
For those not familiar with Fretlight, it’s an electric guitar (they have acoustic models also) that has a fretboard designed to, among other things, light up the scales as chosen by the software that accompanies it. It works via USB interface and comes with a thorough education package that assists in learning all of your scales, chords, etc…The guitar line is relatively inexpensive…..Gimmicky….but an effective learning tool for the right person…..I’ve had one for a couple of years but never really spent a lot of time with it…
I believe Sweetwater carries the line…Marty

so that is what a Fretlight is.. kind of cool, actually, really cool. That software I use supports that guitar. I saw a “how to” video, but, didn’t watch it. (setting it up with the software) Sounds like a neat birthday present for my grand kids..
Don't practice till you get it right, practice till you can't get it wrong.
