CAGED octaves : 6-string bass (Drop A - AEADGC)
C major arpeggio : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major arpeggio and join them all together
for 6-string bass (Drop A - AEADGC) to form one long CAGED octaves chain.
The CAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows.

The diagram that follows shows all five of the CAGED octaves shapes for use with the

The diagram that follows shows all five of the CAGED octaves shapes for use with the

The diagram that follows shows all of the C major arpeggio notes plotted over the
6-string bass' fretboard in the CAGED octaves style.
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 CAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major arpeggio in the CAGED octaves style.
