BCAGED octaves : 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC)
C pentatonic major scale - 131313 sweep patterns : General
In BLOGoZON No.646 the pseudo 3nps box shapes for the C pentatonic major scale
were presented using the BCAGED octaves methodology for 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C pentatonic major scale, again, but with 131313 sweep patterns
and join them all together to form one long BCAGED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the BCAGED octaves shapes for use with the
131313 sweep patterns for a 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC).
The conjoined BCAGED 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 bass (Low B - BEADGC).
The diagrams that follow show all of the C pentatonic major scale notes plotted over the
6-string bass' fretboard in the BCAGED 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 BCAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C pentatonic major scale in the
BCAGED 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:-
