DCAGE4BASS - D minor arpeggio box shapes
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the D minor arpeggio box shapes and join them all together to form one long DCAGE4BASS chain. |
|
Hence the DCAGE4BASS sequence is shown for D natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follow shows all of the D minor arpeggio notes plotted over the 4-string bass's
fretboard in both the 
and DCAGE4BASS styles:-
As always 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 scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the D minor arpeggio are detailed below in the
CAGED4BASS manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the D minor arpeggio in the CAGED4BASS 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 - 2Dm* - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the DCAGE4BASS chain-linked sequence for the D minor arpeggio box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
