MESHUGGAH's 4-string bass tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭)
C major scale (ionian mode) - 3nps : General
In BLOGoZON No.764 the box shapes for the C major scale (ionian mode) were presented
using the BAF♯ED octaves methodology for MESHUGGAH's 4-string bass tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭).
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the C major scale (ionian mode) , but with 3nps shapes and join them all together for MESHUGGAH's 4-string bass tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭) to form one long BAF♯ED octaves chain.
The BAF♯ED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows.

The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAF♯ED octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a MESHUGGAH's 4-string bass tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭).
The diagrams that follows show all of the C major scale (ionian mode) notes plotted over the
MESHUGGAH's 4-string bass tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭) guitar's
fretboard in the BAF♯ED octaves style.
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 BAF♯ED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all seven box shapes for the C major scale (ionian mode)
in the
BAF♯ED octaves style for MESHUGGAH's 4-string bass tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭).
