BAGED octaves : 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG)
C pentatonic major scale - 13131 sweep patterns : General
In BLOGoZON No.619 the standard box shapes for the C pentatonic major scale
were presented using the BAGED octaves methodology for 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C pentatonic major scale, again, but with 13131 sweep patterns patterns and join them all together to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
13131 sweep patterns patterns for a 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG).
The conjoined BAGED octaves sequence is shown for C 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 a 6-string guitar (E standard: EADGBE).
The diagrams that follow show all of the C pentatonic major scale notes plotted over the
5-string bass' 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 pentatonic major scale are detailed below in the BAGED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C pentatonic major scale 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 - 5B3:3A1 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
