8 string guitar (F#BEADGBE tuning) - C major scale box shapes
This weeks BLOGoZON looks at the factory standard tuning for 8-string guitar.
Below the BAF#GED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major scale notes plotted over the 8-string guitar's (F#BEADGBE)
fretboard in both the 
and BAF#GAD octaves styles:-
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales 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 C major scale are detailed below in the

The video shown to the right demonstrates the BAF#GED octaves chain-linked sequence for the C major scale box shapes. |
