General
In BLOGoZON No.835:B1 the A minor scale (aeolian mode) (1 2 ♭3 5 ♭6 ♭7 - A B C D E F G)
box shapes were presented using the AGEDB octaves methodology - this is the
CAGED octaves guitar method adapted and improved for 7-string guitar (B1 standard - BEADGBE).
The conjoined AGEDB octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the A minor scale (aeolian mode) (1 2 ♭3 5 ♭6 ♭7 - A B C D E F G),
again, but with 3nps shapes and join them all together to form one long AGEDB octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the AGEDB octaves shapes for use with the
three notes per string patterns for a 7-string guitar (B1 standard - BEADGBE).

box shapes for a 7-string guitar (B1 standard - BEADGBE).
The diagrams that follow show all of the A minor scale (aeolian mode) (1 2 ♭3 5 ♭6 ♭7 - A B C D E F G)
notes plotted over the 7-string guitar's fretboard in the AGEDB 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
A minor scale (aeolian mode) (1 2 ♭3 5 ♭6 ♭7 - A B C D E F G)
are detailed below in the AGEDB octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
A minor scale (aeolian mode) (1 2 ♭3 5 ♭6 ♭7 - A B C D E F G)
for 7-string guitar (B1 standard - BEADGBE).

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 below demonstrates the AGEDB octaves chain-linked sequence for the |
