This issue demonstrates the BLUES SCALE - sometimes confused with the pentatonic minor scale (which forms five sixths of the scale, the remaining note being the DIMINISHED FIFTH - flat five - b5).
As the name would suggest this is the perfect scale with which to improvise blues guitar solos, however it also makes great material for creating classic rock riffs such as Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker; for details check out BLOGoZON No.13.
The EDCAG octaves sequence is shown for E natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagram that follows shows all of the E blues scale notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's
fretboard in both the 
and EDCAG octaves styles:-
NOTE:- The GuitarPro6 fingerboard shows Bb's enharmonic equivalent spelling A# (the augmented fourth interval name rather than the diminished fifth used elsewhere on this page).
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales/arpeggios 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 E blues scale are detailed below in the
EDCAG octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the E blues scale in the EDCAG octaves style.
