Here are some blues patterns

Start these patterns on the low E string

and play the pattern from the lowest notes to the highest notes 

This is a pentatonic pattern G for blues

It starts on the F note below G on the low E string

It can be used as G minor pentatonic(blues/rock) or Bb major

pentatonic(country).

If you want to move it to A Minor/C major  move the whole pattern up a

whole tone(from the first fret to the 3rd fret).

 

Another way to play G Minor Pentatonic

Starting this pattern on the 3rd fret will give you

G Minor Pentatonic or the sixth fret Bb major pentatonic

These are the natural notes on your guitar.

Notice that E and F are always a semitone apart.

Notice that B and C are always a semitone apart

That is to say on the neck they are always right next to each other.

In every other case you have to move a whole tone(skip a fret)

to get to the next natural note.

The blank spaces between the notes are sharps(#)

                                                      and Flats(b)

 

This is one octave of the G major Scale

Start with the open G string and follow the sequence of colors.
