AGEDC octaves (EADGBE : 6-string guitar standard tuning)
A minor scale (aeolian mode): General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A minor scale box shapes and join them all together for
6-string guitar in standard EADGBE tuning to form one long AGEDC octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDC octaves shapes for use with
the standard patterns for a 6-string guitar tuned to EADGBE :-
The AGEDC octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-
GuitarPro6 fingerboard : A natural octaves
The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor scale notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's fretboard in the AGEDC octaves and GuitarPro6 styles:-
GuitarPro6 fingerboard : A minor scale
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 AGEDC octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the A minor scale in the AGEDC 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 - 5Am3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDC octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor scale box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
