Extended Scales

 These scales are all 3 notes/string and you have to learn those if you are interested in becoming a shred style player. Together with the 5 patterns that you already know, this makes a total of 12 different fingering patterns for any major scale mode. If you have any trouble executing the stretches necessary to perform these scales, You should try some of these exercises in the below links. 3 note per string patterns really open up the neck, that's why they are so popular with most of the great metal and rock guitarists.
