AGEDC octaves (6-string guitar : E standard tuning - EADGBE)
A pentatonic minor scale : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A pentatonic minor scale and join them all together for
6-string guitar (E standard tuning - EADGBE) to form one long AGEDC octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDC octaves shapes for use with
the standard patterns for 6-string guitar (E standard tuning - EADGBE).
The AGEDC octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-

The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDC octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for 6-string guitar (E standard tuning - EADGBE) in standard tuning :-
The diagrams that follow show all of the A pentatonic minor scale notes plotted over
the 6-string guitar's fretboard in the AGEDC 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
A pentatonic minor scale are detailed below in the AGEDC octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
A pentatonic minor scale in the AGEDC octaves style.

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all seven shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 5Am3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDC octaves chain-linked sequence for the A pentatonic minor scale box shapes. |
