AGEDC octaves : 6-string guitar (Drop D - DADGBE)
A minor scale (aeolian mode) : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the A minor scale (aeolian mode) and join them all together
for 6-string guitar (Drop D - DADGBE) to form one long AGEDC octaves chain.
Below the 6-string guitar (Drop D - DADGBE) sequence is shown for A 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 guitar (Drop D - DADGBE).
The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor scale (aeolian mode) notes plotted over the
6-string guitar's (Drop D - DADGBE) fretboard in the AGEDC octaves and GuitarPro7 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
A minor scale (aeolian mode) are detailed below in the AGEDC octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
A minor scale (aeolian mode) in the
AGEDC 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 - 5Am3 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the AGEDC octaves chain-linked sequence for the A minor scale box shapes. |
