Feel free to share it. I made it on my own.

It is more likely to remember the notes, if you learn the pattern like how they are located on the fretboard. It even gives you a clue about the spaces between the notes. For example a perfect fifth always goes two frets up ( e.g from 5th to 7th) and one string higher (from A to D). Now we got the perfect fifth D to A.
