AGEDB octaves (BEADG : 5-string bass standard tuning)
A minor scale : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the individual A minor scale box shapes.....
and join them all together for 5-string bass in standard low B tuning to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.
The 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 5-string bass' 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.

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 - 5B3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDB octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor scale box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-

A new exercise for this week....alternating looped box shapes (the timing in the video is a bit shakey but you will get the gist of it anyway).... good luck!
