BAGED octaves : 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE)
C major scale (ionian mode) 3nps : General
In BLOGoZON No.500 the box shapes for the C major scale (ionian mode) were presented for
8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE) using the standard BAGED octaves guitar system for Drop E.
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major scale (ionian mode), again, but with 3nps shapes and join them all together for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE) to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the octave shapes used with the
three notes per string patterns for Drop E : 8-string guitar.
Below the C natural octave sequence is shown for 8-string guitar (Drop E - EBEADGBE).

8-string guitar's (Drop E - EBEADGBE) 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 scale (ionian mode) are detailed below in the BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all seven box shapes for the 3nps
C major scale (ionian mode) 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). |
