3 tab shingle 11 1/2 in at gutter and at edge 29 in and 35 for 6 inch lines for tabs to line up right and be right and every 5 inch mark a line from your 11 1/2 in mark all the way to peak and chalk line every mark you cant mess up dont forget to lay starters.

3 demisional at gutter 12 inch mark and edge 38 inch and let next shingle hang past 6 inches and from 12 inch mark at gutter for starter mark 5 1/2 in marks all the up roof to peak it will be pristene.

and for ridge cap you always use 3 tab shingles you can get three ridge per shingle.

Can new roofing shingles be put over cedar shake?

When asphalt shingles were first used, it was done all the time. The problem is that the shingles will not lay flat which give the roof an uneven appearance and makes them much easier to puncture by walking on them or with hail. No one does this anymore, strip off the cedar and put plywood or OSB over the space sheathing. More work and expense, but worth it in the long run.
