Major scale
E Major Scale presented.
E Major is obviously the key scale for this particular tuning and the E Major Scale is convenient in open position. The fingerboard diagram below shows a E Major scale over two octaves with the root notes on open strings. It may be not optimal to play four notes on a string when playing trough scales, but if the A note should be included in the first octave it has to be four notes on the 6th string with this particular pattern in open position.
