8 string guitar (EBEADGBE - Drop E8 tuning)
C major scale box shapes
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major scale (ionian mode) and join them all together
for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE) to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
Below the C natural octave sequence is shown for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE).

The diagram that follows shows all five of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE).
The diagram that follows shows all five of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the

The diagrams that follow show all of the C major scale (ionian mode) notes plotted over the
8-string guitar's (Drop E - EBEADGBE) fretboard in the BAGED octaves and GuitarPro6 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 (ionian mode) are detailed below in the BAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major scale (ionian mode) in the
BAGED 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 - 7B5B2 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the BAGED octaves chain-linked sequence for the C major blues scale box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
