I am going to post the main modes of the Major scale and then at the end I will show you how they fit together and how you can use them to play lead over the whole fret board.
All modes will be in…

my friend has been going to a profesional techer and he got me the tab for this scale, but there are some diferences at the end of mine and urs. mine goes 3 5 7-3 5 7 -4 5 7- 4 5 7 -5 7 -3 5 7. is that a problem?

Nope, no problem. My tabs and yours are just a couple of ways to play the major/ionian scale. I just add 2 notes to complete the pattern and yours does as well, but strictly speaking you would start on G (for G maj) and end on a G to complete the scale.You could also play 3-5 2-3-5 2-4-5 2-4-5 3-5 2-3 This would be G to G major scale/ionian 2 octaves. Not very easy to play across the fret board, but your pattern is easier than this one and I think mine is even easier to play.rock on

It’s better to learn the scales and their notes and not rely on patterns so much. Then you can compose a scale any where on the fret board and you can change the scale as you need to depending on the chords you are playing over. Keep jammin’

Those are the notes I sound for tuning, so when you play the scale you can hear the correct note as well as see it.
