6 string guitar (DADGBE - Drop D tuning)
C major scale (3 notes per string) : General
In BLOGoZON No.327 the box shapes for the C ionian mode (major scale) were presented using
the
CAGED octaves methodology - this is the standard CAGED octaves guitar system.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C ionian mode (major scale), 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 an 6-string guitar tuned to DADGBE :-
The conjoined CAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-
GuitarPro6 fingerboard : C natural octaves
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major scale notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's DADGBE fretboard in the CAGED octaves (Drop D) 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 ionian mode (major scale) are detailed below in the
BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C ionian mode (major scale) in the
CAGED octaves Drop D 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 - 5C2 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the CAGED octaves Drop D chain-linked sequence for the C ionian mode (major scale) 3nps box shapes. |
