The seven 3-notes-per-string shapes of a diatonic mode, each overlaid with the pentatonic box that fits it best. In the shapes, colors compare fret positions: purple is a fret both fingerings use, blue is in the 3NPS fingering only, red is in the pentatonic box only (the same note played at a different spot, or a note the mode doesn't have), and amber is the blues note. A ring marks the pentatonic root; a dashed ring marks the mode root when it's different.
