AGEDC4BASS : 4-string bass (Low E - EADG)
A pentatonic minor scale - 3131 sweeps : General
In BLOGoZON No.585 the standard box shapes for the A pentatonic minor scale
were presented using the AGEDC4BASS methodology for 4-string bass (Low E - EADG).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the A pentatonic minor scale, again, but with 3131 sweep patterns
and join them all together to form one long AGEDC4BASS chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDC4BASS shapes for use with the
pseudo Three-Notes-Per-String patterns for a 4-string bass (Low E - EADG).
The conjoined AGEDC4BASS sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows.

box shapes for a 4-string bass (Low E - EADG).
The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDC4BASS shapes for use with the
box shapes for a 4-string bass (Low E - EADG).
The diagrams that follows show all of the A pentatonic minor scale notes plotted over the
4-string bass guitar's
fretboard in the AGEDC4BASS style.
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 AGEDC4BASS manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the A pentatonic minor scale
in the
AGEDC4BASS style for 4-string bass (Low E - EADG).

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 - 3Am1:4Gm1 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
