BAGED octaves (BEADGBE - standard 7 string guitar tuning)
C major arpeggio (3 notes per string) : General
In BLOGoZON No.255 the box shapes for the C major arpeggio were presented using
the BAGED octaves methodology - this is the CAGED octaves guitar system adapted and improved for 7-string guitar.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C major arpeggio, again, but with 3nps shapes and join them all together to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the three notes per string patterns for a 7-string guitar tuned to BEADGBE :-
The conjoined BAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major arpeggio notes plotted over the 7-string guitar's BEADGBE 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 arpeggio are detailed below in the BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the C major arpeggio (3nps) in the
BAGED 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 - 7B5B2 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the BAGED octaves chain-linked sequence for the C major arpeggio 3nps box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
