BAGED octaves : 7-string guitar (Drop A - AEADGBE)
C major arpeggio (3nps) : General
In BLOGoZON No.496 the box shapes for the C major arpeggio were presented for
7-string guitar (Drop A - AEADGBE) using the standard BAGED octaves guitar system for Drop A.
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major arpeggio, again, but with 3nps shapes and them all together for 7-string guitar (Drop A - AEADGBE) to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the octave shapes used with the
three notes per stringpatterns for Drop A : 7-string guitar.
Below the 7-string guitar (Drop A - AEADGBE) sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows.

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 five box shapes for the
C major arpeggio in the
BAGED octaves style.
