The Mandolin Diaries - major scales

Feeling as I do that there's way too much emphasis on using "scales" to organize musical thoughts, I waited as long as possible before "learning all my scales." But now it's unavoidable. Permutations to follow as I work them out. The hollow circles represent the lowest roots, and the numbers with "^" over them are the scale degree. Note that these patters have a compass of exactly two octaves, one more thing I love about GDAD tuning.
