C pentatonic major scale 1313131 sweep patterns : General
In BLOGoZON No.361 the box shapes for the C pentatonic major scale pseudo 3nps box shapes were presented using the BAGED octaves methodology.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C pentatonic major scale, again, but as 1313131 sweep patterns and join them all together to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
1313131 sweep patterns for a 7-string guitar tuned to BEADGBE :-
The conjoined BAGED 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 7-string guitar's fretboard in the BAGED 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
BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C pentatonic major scale 1313131 sweep patterns in the
BAGED 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 - 7B5B2:5A3 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
