That is a great idea, thank you. I have played some familier songs and they sound right so my marks must be close. What i wanted to check on was that the notes on the 5th string of a standard guitar appear at the same frets alone my string which is also tuned to a. Thanks again :)

Use a tuner to check it,

If you are marking out the notes for an A-Minor scale (relative minor for the C-Major scale) you have the right notes

la-ti-do-ray-me-fa-so-la-ti-do-ray-me-fa-so-la

-----

just a little theory for ordinary folks, a major scale goes

do-ray-me-fa-so-la-ti-do

and it's relative minor scale starts at -2

la-ti-do-ray-me-fa-so-la

Just got home from work and checked with a tuner like you both suggested and its pretty much spot on. Have to be carefull not to bend the string at all but im pretty happy with that. Thank you Erasmo and JL for your help.
