AGEDBC octaves (BEADGC : 6-string bass standard tuning)
A minor scale (aeolian mode): General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A minor arpeggio box shapes and join them all together for
6-string bass in standard low B tuning to form one long AGEDBC octaves chain.
The AGEDBC octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-

The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor arpeggio notes plotted over the 6-string bass' fretboard in the AGEDBC 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 arpeggio are detailed below in the
AGEDBC octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the A minor arpeggio in the
AGEDBC 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 - 4Am2 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDBC octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor arpeggio box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
