AGEDB octaves : 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG)
A pentatonic minor scale - 31313 sweep patterns : General
In BLOGoZON No.632 the pseudo 3nps box shapes for the A pentatonic minor scale
were presented using the AGEDB octaves methodology for 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the A pentatonic minor scale, again, but with 31313 sweep patterns
patterns and join them all together to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.
The conjoined 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 diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDB octaves shapes for use with the
31313 sweep patterns for a 5-string bass (Low B - BEADG).
The diagrams that follow show all of the A pentatonic minor 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
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 - 5B3:3A1 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
