AGEDBC octaves : 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC)
A minor blues scale : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A minor blues scale and join them all together
for 6-string bass (Low B - BEADGC) to form one long AGEDBC octaves chain.
The AGEDBC octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows.

The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor blues scale notes plotted over the
6-string bass' fretboard in the AGEDBC octaves and GuitarPro6 manner.
GuitarPro6 fingerboard : A minor blues scale
NOTE: The GuitarPro6 fingerboard shows E♭'s enharmonic equivalent spelling D# (the augmented fourth interval name rather than the diminished fifth used elsewhere on this page).
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 minor blues scale are detailed below in the AGEDBC octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
A minor blues scale in the AGEDBC octaves style.
