TERMS
the names above the finger patterns on the top line are ways of 
conceiving or deriving these scales from modes of the major scale

the abbreviations in brackets are the most common jazz/rock names, you may
notice that these names are not consistent

each of these scales can be correctly considered as a mode of either the:
1) Jazz Melodic Minor Scale, 2) the Altered Scale,
3) the Overtone Scale, (its acoustics name) or
4) the Super Locrian (its classical theory name)

TECHNIQUE
the finger patterns are modified 'E shape' movable scale fingering 
patterns (the root notes are on E, D and e strings) 
you should start ascending from your middle finger, stretching the 
index finger out of the 'one finger per fret' position when necessary
(rather than changing your hand to a lower position)

APPLICATION
these finger patterns are useful for playing at lower or higher register
for a given harmony (diatonic) or for playing through a modulation by
changing mode around a set register (range of notes) or for creating a 
changing set of inside and outside notes (diatonic/chromatic) over a
static harmony
