    i am assuming that you are learning major and minor scales and you want to find them on frets.
    Formula :
    Major Scale formula : Root-W-W-H-W-W-W-H
    Minor Scale Formula : Root-W-H-W-W-H-W-W
    Where ; W- Whole note, H- Half Note
    For Example
    A major scale : A(Root)-B(W)-C#(W)-D(H)-E(W)-F#(W)-G#(W)-A(H)
    A minor Scale : A(Root)-B(W)-C(H)-D(W)-E(W)-F(H)-G(W)-A(W)

    Major Scale on guitar fret :
    e|-0-|---|---|---|---|
    B|---|---|-o-|---|-o-|
    G|---|-o-|-o-|---|-o-|
    D|---|-o-|-0-|---|-o-|
    A|-0-|---|-o-|---|-o-|
    E|-0-|---|-o-|---|-o-|

    Minor Scale on Guitar Fret :
    e|---|-0-|---|---|---|
    B|---|-o-|-o-|---|-o-|
    G|-o-|-o-|---|-o-|---|
    D|---|-o-|---|-0-|---|
    A|---|-o-|---|-o-|-o-|
    E|---|-0-|---|-o-|-o-|
