The full internalized vision of the chord is twelve frets long.

There are five places along this twelve-fret pattern where the chord tab and the arpeggio has its root both on the lower fret and the higher fret. (the front and back of the chord.) ie C7 with the root at the first and the third fret. The chord is played between the roots. This can be called a position. Each of these positions is directly in front and behind the next. The fingerings remain constant while the pattern as a whole moves. This is also true for the arpeggio (modal playing). If one recognizes this basic truth about the guitar, he will be motivated to continue to play them Hard; as it is, the repetition of these concepts that reveals the secrets of improvisation. Internalizing tablature and improvising skill at the performance level comes from studying the four note chord and string combinations that accompany this article.
