Below the 6-string guitar (Drop D - DADGBE) sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows.

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 major blues scale are detailed below in the CAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major blues scale in the
CAGED octaves style.
