Hi, I got to this late ... I must have missed something because I don't really understand Question 6. I think you want me to say C but ?..... I didn't have any other "problems". My strumming could use some work and I don't really consider that I can play Like A Rolling Stone because I can't SING along with it........It ain't Happy Birthday, Bob's verbiage is DENSE.

Everything repeats after the 12th fret - all patterns, scales, triads, arpeggios, licks, just ONE OCTAVE higher!

We've been using F# at the 2nd fret on the 6th string (cycle 4), but if we try to play the pentatonic scale shape we learned starting there, it seems like our pinky would end up on the 2nd fret, which doesn’t seem right. Should we be shifting up to play the scale starting with the pinky around the 14th fret instead? Sorry if this is a basic question—just feeling a bit lost right now and trying to piece it all together.
