This issue demonstrates the E MINOR ARPEGGIO (3 NOTES PER STRING).
The EDCAG octaves sequence is shown for E natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the E minor arpeggio notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's
fretboard in both the and EDCAG octaves styles:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the E minor arpeggio are detailed below in the EDCAG octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the E minor arpeggio in the EDCAG octaves style.
