A aeolian mode box shapes
In BLOGoZON No.26 the individual box shapes for the A AEOLIAN MODE were presented using
the CAGED octaves methodology.
In this weeks BLOGoZON the box shapes for the A aeolian mode are revisited but this time the undelying
3-note chord/arpeggio is presented i.e. A minor.
The easiest example of the aeolian mode is rooted on A natural - as it is really the C major scale re-arranged so that it starts with the sixth note (A) rather than the first (C).
Hence AGEDC octaves sequence is shown for A natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follow show all of the A aeolian mode notes plotted over the 6-string guitar's
fretboard in both the 
and AGEDC octaves styles:-
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 A aeolian mode are detailed below for the
6-string guitar in the AGEDC octaves manner:-
The table and tabbed panel below details all five box shapes for the A aeolian mode for the 6-string guitar in the AGEDC octaves style.
