It’s confusing that the scale position starting with the 5th note, D in this example, is labeled the 4th position and the position starting with the 6th note, E, is labeled the 5th position.

I means we should call it the EDCAG approach to scales, right?

Hi James,
The tabs and the video will show you where you start each scale position.

Best,

The notes are: F# G# A B C# D# E F#, this is E major.

Similarly, all positions other than the first are not G major.

These shapes are as the chord would be played down at the nut. Cowboy chord shapes but barred so they can be moved up and down the neck. A hard stretch to bar and play the G and C chord shapes but for lead soloing its not a problem. Plus these shapes can be played as partial chords. Its just a memory aid, helps locate notes and patterns.
