BAF#GED octaves : 8-string guitar in low F# (F#BEADGBE)
C pentatonic major scale (pseudo 3nps) : General
In BLOGoZON No.353 the box shapes for the C pentatonic major scale were presented using the
BAF#GED octaves methodology - this is the standard BAF#GED octaves guitar system.
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C pentatonic major scale, again, but with pseudo 3nps shapes and join them all together to form one long BAF#GED octaves chain.
The diagram that follows shows all five of the BAF#GED octaves shapes for use with the
pseudo three notes per string patterns for a 8-string guitar tuned to F#BEADGBE :-
The conjoined BAF#GED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows:-

The diagrams that follow show all of the C pentatonic major scale notes plotted over the 8-string guitar's fretboard in the BAF#GED 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 pentatonic major scale are detailed below in the
BAF#GED octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C pentatonic major scale pseudo 3nps box shapes in the
BAF#GED 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 - 7B5B2:8A5A3 - being repeated at the 12th fret).
The complete TAB for the previously described exercise follows:-
