AGEDBC octaves : 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC)
A pentatonic minor scale - 131313 sweep patterns : General
In BLOGoZON No.657 the pseudo 3nps box shapes for the A pentatonic minor scale
were presented using the AGEDBC octaves methodology for 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the A pentatonic minor scale, again, but with 131313 sweep patterns
and join them all together to form one long AGEDBC octaves chain.
The AGEDBC octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows.

The diagram that follows shows all five of the AGEDBC octaves shapes for use with the
131313 sweep patterns patterns for a 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC).
The diagrams that follow show all of the A pentatonic minor scale notes plotted over the
6-string bass' fretboard in the AGEDBC octaves and GuitarPro6 manner.

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 AGEDBC octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five 131313 sweep pattern box shapes for the
A pentatonic minor scale in the AGEDBC 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 - 4Am2:5Gm2 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
