CAGED octaves (EADGBE : 6-string guitar standard tuning)
B locrian mode (3 notes per string) : General
In BLOGoZON No.304 the box shapes for the B locrian mode were presented using
the CAGED octaves methodology - this is the standard CAGED octaves guitar system.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the B locrian mode, again, but with 3nps shapes and join them all together to form one long CAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the CAGED octaves shapes for use with the
three notes per string patterns for a 6-string guitar tuned to EADGBE :-
The conjoined CAGED octaves sequence is shown for B natural in the diagram that follows:-
GuitarPro6 fingerboard : B natural octaves
The diagrams that follow show all of the B locrian mode notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's fretboard in the CAGED 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 B locrian mode are detailed below in the CAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all seven box shapes
for the B locrian mode in the
CAGED 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 - 5A3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the CAGED octaves chain-linked sequence for the B locrian mode 3nps box shapes. |
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
