 Climbing C Major Scale find shapes...R_5_R_Third(= 10th):
each root on |C| string, Octave (Root doubled) on |A| string
[Cmajor..! Dminor.! Eminor.! Fmajor.! GMajor..! A Minor..! B min-5]
 Once that group of 7 chords Root_5th_Root_&Third is familiar, 
it's a step away from: climbing C Major Scale to find 
shapes for 7 x (7ths) Root_5th_7th_10th: 
| Tenth (octave plus 3rd on |D| string.|
|Major or flatted (b) 7th on |B| string|
| Perfect 5th from root on |G| String|
