BAGED octaves : 8-string guitar in Drop E (EBEADGBE)
C major arpeggio (3 notes per string) : General
In BLOGoZON No.365 the box shapes for the C major arpeggio were presented using
the BAGED octaves methodology - this is the standard BAGED 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 BAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
three notes per string patterns for an 8-string guitar tuned to EBEADGBE :-
The conjoined BAGED 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 8-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 major arpeggio are detailed below in the
BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all seven box shapes
for the C major arpeggio 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 - 7B5A3 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
