C major blues scale box shapes
The easiest example of the MAJOR BLUES SCALE is rooted on C natural, hence the CAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the C major blues scale notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's fretboard in the CAGED octaves styles:-
A more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/modes/arpeggios as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, modes, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the C major blues scale are detailed below in the CAGED octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the C major blues scale for the 6-string guitar in the CAGED octaves style.
