MESHUGGAH's 8-string guitar tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭)
C major scale (ionian mode) 3nps : General
In BLOGoZON No.552 the box shapes for the C major scale (ionian mode) 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 major scale (ionian mode), again, but with 3nps shapes and join
them all together for MESHUGGAH's 8-string guitar tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭)
to form one long BAF♯GED octaves chain.
Below the C natural octave sequence is shown for
MESHUGGAH's 8-string guitar tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭).

The diagrams that follow show all of the C major scale (ionian mode) notes plotted over the
MESHUGGAH's 8-string guitar tuning (F B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭ G♭ B♭ E♭) fretboard

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♯GED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major scale (ionian mode) in the BAF♯GED octaves style.
