The easiest major scale pattern ever

I was checking out an instructional DVD from Paul Gilbert and in it he shows this great way of playing the minor blues scale which is a pentatonic minor with the flat 5 added to get 1, b3, 4, b5, 5, 7. Here's a picture of the pattern over one octave on two strings:



You can see that this contains some stretches, but I like the way it's easily repeated over groups of 2 strings:



So we have one 6 note pattern which is identical on pairs of strings 6-5, 4-3, and 2-1. It's so easy to remember, and the concept can be applied to other scales too such as the major scale:



Here's the entire pattern covering 3 octaves:



Also note how this pattern has a bonus characteristic that all notes on the same string are a tone apart. The semitone intervals occur where the pattern goes to the next adjacent string. This makes it super easy to remember.
