The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDB octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a 8-string guitar tuned to EBEADGBE :-
The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor scale (aeolian mode) notes plotted over the
8-string guitar's EBEADGBE fretboard in the AGEDB octaves (Drop E) 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 A minor scale are detailed below in the AGEDB octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
A minor scale (aeolian mode) in the
AGEDB octaves style for Drop E tuning.
