A minor-diminished arpeggio box shapes for 7 string guitar
The disguised CAGED octaves method for the A minor-diminished arpeggio on 7-string guitar now follows:-
The 7-string guitar CAGED octaves sequence is shown for A minor-diminished arpeggio in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the A minor-diminished arpeggio notes plotted over the
7-string 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 for the 7-string guitar in the CAGED octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the A minor-diminished arpeggio for the
7-string guitar in the CAGED octaves style.

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all five shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 5Zm3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the CAGED octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor-diminished arpeggio box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
