6 string guitar (DADGBE - Drop D tuning)
C major arpeggio (3 notes per string) : General
In BLOGoZON No.326 the box shapes for the C major arpeggio were presented using
the
CAGED octaves methodology - this is the standard CAGED octaves guitar system.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C major arpeggio, 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:-

The diagrams that follow show all of the C major arpeggio 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 major arpeggio are detailed below in the
BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major arpeggio 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 |
