Any zone within a key can be transposed up or down chromatically any number of semitones, to get any of the fourteen other keys.

In each zone number, regardless of key, the same chord and scale shapes are used, except for adjustments for the chords and scales at the nut, which use open strings, and may require other accommodations as well.

The forms used at the nut make use of open strings, and are not necessarily always fully identical with the movable forms. The forms at the nut are duplicated as movable forms an octave above, or in fretboard terms, twelve frets towards the body.
