AGEDB octaves : 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG)
A pentatonic minor scale : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A pentatonic minor scale box shapes
and join them all together for 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG) to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.
The AGEDB octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows.

The individual A natural octave shapes follow.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDB octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG); this links to the downloadable pdf document which also contains the video and GuitarPro7 file.
The diagrams that follow show all of the A pentatonic minor scale notes plotted over the
5-string bass' fretboard in the AGEDB octaves.

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 AGEDB octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes
for the A pentatonic minor scale in the AGEDB 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 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDB octaves chain-linked sequence for the A pentatonic minor scale box shapes. |
