They don't seem to rate obscure scale patterns sponsoring-worthy.

Funnily enough them and Puma threw sneakers and stuff at every Steamhammer, Mausoleum, SPV, Gamma etc signed band
BB had a system…. Every player has a system of some sort, even if it’s a system of suck.Wtf do these people know about guitar playing!!!!……….kidding Offcourse
Well…BB king supposedly had no system…that doesn’t make “no system” a good system either…and he’s obviously still a great player…although he probably won’t make it through giant steps…so “means to an end” applies.

So I've been pondering this 12(9) vs 7 vs 5 position thing.
I realised why the 12 thing is sorta annoying to me.
I only spread the pinky when absolutely needed and use my middle finger instead of ring when the pinky needs stretching.
Plus having toilet seat cover size hands it matters a lot less.
Anyways with that in mind during my 3nps string days I used to play with starting a scale on each finger.
Meaning c to c starting on the 8th with index for me is 8th position, it of course be 9th as well.
As in for me it's cde frets 8 10 12 is index middle pinky.
Whereas in 9th position ala classical it'd be index middle pinky and in 9th it be index middle pinky.
Anyways, for me I practiced it as 8 10 12 I m p
Then m p index on 7 next string.
This also could be I r i
Etc...
Eventually I broke it down two either start on the lowest finger 1 (index/middle interchangeable), in-between finger 2 (middlle/ring) or highest 3 (ring/pinky)
That gives the permutations 123, 231, 312.
