CAGED octaves (EADGBE : 6-string guitar standard tuning)
C pentatonic major scale 131313 sweep patterns : General
In BLOGoZON No.357 the box shapes for the C pentatonic major scale pseudo 3nps box shapes were presented using the CAGED octaves methodology.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C pentatonic major scale, again, but as 131313 sweep patterns and join them all together to form one long CAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the CAGED octaves shapes for use with the
131313 sweep patterns for a 6-string guitar tuned to EADGBE :-
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 pentatonic major scale 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 C pentatonic major scale are detailed below in the
CAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C pentatonic major scale 131313 sweep patterns in the
CAGED octaves style.

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all five shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 5C2:5A3 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
