AGEDB octaves (BEADGBE - standard 7 string guitar tuning)
A minor scale (3 notes per string) : General
In BLOGoZON No.252 the box shapes for the A minor scale were presented using
the AGEDB octaves methodology - this is the CAGED octaves guitar system adapted and improved for 7-string guitar.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the A minor scale, again, but with 3nps shapes and join them all together to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the AGEDB octaves shapes for use with the three notes per string patterns for a 7-string guitar tuned to BEADGBE :-
The conjoined AGEDB octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor scale notes plotted over the 7-string guitar's BEADGBE fretboard in the AGEDB 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 A minor scale are detailed below in the AGEDB octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the A minor scale in the AGEDB octaves style for BEADGBE: standard 7-string tuning.

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all seven shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 5Am3Gm1 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDB octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor scale 3nps box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
