In Pattern 4E, the lowest root of the major scale is played with your fourth finger on the low E string, which puts you in the key of A. Stash shows you the pattern in the key of A and then in the keys of B, C, and D. He also shows you an exercise using all five patterns in one position on the neck, modulating around the circle of fifths from B to G (B–E–A–D–G). You start with the key of B using pattern 4E, then the key of E using pattern 4A, the key of A using pattern 2E, the key of D using pattern 2A, and the key of G using pattern 2D. Stash finishes up by showing you how to play “We Live In Two Different Worlds” with pattern 4E in the key of G, up at the 12th to 15th frets.
