BAF#GED octaves : 8-string guitar (Low F#)
C major arpeggio (3nps) : General
In BLOGoZON No.486 the box shapes for the C major arpeggio were presented using the
BAF#GED octaves methodology - this is the standard BAF#GED 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 BAF#GED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAF#GED octaves shapes for use with the
three notes per string patterns for an 8-string guitar tuned to F#BEADGBE :-
The conjoined BAF#GED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-

The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAF#GED octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a 8-string guitar (Low F#) :-
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major arpeggio notes plotted over
the 8-string guitar's (Low F#) fretboard in the BAF#GED 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 BAF#GED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major arpeggio for 8-string guitar (Low F#).

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). |
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
