This fingerboard has all notes of the major scale, numbered and color coded.  The colors allow you to see patterns in the arrangement of notes, which will eventually help you to memorize the fingerboard. This one obviously just shows the 1, 4, and 5 notes, which are helpful to know, since they are commonly involved in every conceivable arrangement of notes.  You'll see some clear patterns here.
