CAGED octaves (Baritone VI guitar : E1 standard - EADGBE)
C major scale (ionian mode) : General
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major scale (ionian mode) and join them all together
for Baritone VI guitar (E1 standard tuning - EADGBE) to form one long CAGED octaves chain.
The CAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-

The diagram that follows shows all five of the CAGED octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a Baritone VI guitar (E1 standard tuning - EADGBE)
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major scale (ionian mode) notes plotted over the
Baritone VI guitar's (E1 standard tuning - EADGBE)
fretboard
in the CAGED 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 major scale (ionian mode) are detailed below in the CAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major scale (ionian mode) in the CAGED 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 - 5C2 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previous exercise follows:-
