This BLOGoZON builds on the foundation laid in BLOGoZON No.34 where the CAGED4BASS memorisation method - designed specifically for the 4-string bass guitar - was introduced for the first time.
The next diagram details the CAGED4BASS octave shapes for C natural:-
The life-blood of harmonically rich players such as Marcus Miller is the ARPEGGIO - which offers the perfect ingredients for bass-line creation - the diagram that follows shows the C major arpeggio notes plotted over the entire fretboard in the CAGED4BASS style:-
A more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all arpeggios/chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the C major arpeggio are detailed below in the CAGED4BASS manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below detail all five arpeggio box shapes for C major in the CAGED4BASS style.
