Scale epiphany

Excerpt from the original

I finished Absolutely Understand Guitar a few weeks ago and something finally sunk in a week or so ago. I can start the major scale or any mode from any note on the fretboard and more or less follow the same fingering up/down the neck and across strings with: Low E and A being the same pattern, no changes. And then D and G have small changes going across the B string. And to change modes you just start on the appropriate note, complete the remaining notes in the scale with the appropriate flats. Also, you can easily find your major scale key on the treble strings by putting your pink on the note of the key you want on the high E and then staring the scale with your index finger where it naturally falls 4 frets over on the G string. Next up I need to learn the alternate interval locations so I can move into different positions on the neck more easily and keep on my fretboard memorization. I'm sure this basic stuff for an experiences player but I'm like 6 months in and it's very satisfying to be able to play the major scale anywhere and move up the neck. Anything I'm missing with this approach? Traps of thinking about it this way?
