A minor-diminished arpeggio box shapes for 5 string bass
This issue demonstrates the A minor-diminished arpeggio box shape for 5-string bass with the all important orange letters omitted.
The CAGED octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the A minor-diminished arpeggio notes plotted over the 5-string bass guitar's fretboard in the CAGED octaves style:-
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 A minor-diminished arpeggio are detailed below in the CAGED octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the A minor-diminished arpeggio in the CAGED octaves style.

The video shown to the right demonstrates the CAGED octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor-diminished arpeggio box shapes. |
