In this reference chart you'll learn all 7 guitar patterns of the 3NPS system for the Lydian Dominant scale—the 4th mode of Melodic Minor.
3NPS stands for "3-notes-per-string" and is a system of scale patterns which is often used for playing fast technical runs (commonly referred to as shredding). So if that's your current area of interest then 3NPS excels at this. Of course, you can use 3NPS to play at any speed you like, not only fast, and simply benefit from the consistent nature of this system.
Degrees formula of the Lydian Dominant scale is: 1-2-3-#4-5-6-b7.
Borrow Notes. You can occasionally "borrow" notes from the neighboring patterns for a brief moment and then get back to the pattern you started with. For example:
Break Free From 1 Pattern. You can get yourself prepared for switching between the patterns on the fly. This is basically a helper tool to break free from being stuck within one pattern shape.
A Map of Options. You can also think of them as a guide of where you are and where you can go.
These adjacent blank placeholders are given less emphasis on purpose—they should not distract you from the main pattern you are focusing on, but should you wish to temporarily visit (or peek into) a neighboring pattern, then you can do that.
I'm sure you can find your own application, even if it means just to observe the fretboard and how things interconnect. That is actually exactly what I'm doing here—create resources that allow you to see and learn music conveniently.

You've just downloaded a so-called .zip archive file. It's a way of conveniently distributing multiple files so you didn't have to download one by one. It contains several files inside but to view its content you need to extract (unzip) it.
Every modern operating system comes with a program that is capable of unpacking such archive files so you don't have to download, install and even open any additional software. Click on the downloaded file to invoke its context menu and look for Extract option. Click that and all files which reside in the zip file will be unarchived into a single directory to your device. Navigate to the extracted folder and look for the poster PDF.
Should you need any assistance with opening the file contact me and I will gladly help you out.
