CAGED octaves (Baritone 6-string guitar : Drop A - AEADF#B)
C major scale (ionian mode) - 3nps : General
In BLOGoZON No.560 the box shapes for the C major scale (ionian mode) were presented using the
CAGED octaves methodology - this is the standard CAGED octaves guitar system for

In this BLOGoZON we look at the C major scale (ionian mode), again, but with 3nps shapes and join
them all together for Baritone 6-string guitar (Drop A - AEADF#B)
to form one long CAGED octaves chain.

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 CAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major scale (ionian mode) in the CAGED octaves style.
