C major arpeggio (intra-3nps) box shapes : General
In BLOGoZON No.826:F♯1 the box shapes for the C major arpeggio were presented using
the BAGED octaves methodology - this is the CAGED octaves guitar method adapted
and improved for 7-string baritone guitar (F♯1 standard - F♯BEADF♯B).
In this BLOGoZON we look at the C major arpeggio, again, but with
intra-3nps shapes and join them all together to form one long BAGED octaves chain.
The conjoined BAGED octaves sequence is shown for C natural in the diagram that follows.
The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
intra-3nps patterns for a 7-string baritone guitar (F♯1 standard - F♯BEADF♯B).

The diagram that follows shows all seven of the BAGED octaves shapes for use with the
box shapes for a 7-string baritone guitar (F♯1 standard - F♯BEADF♯B).
The diagrams that follow show all of the C major arpeggio notes plotted over
the 7-string guitar's fretboard in the BAGED 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 major arpeggio are detailed below in the BAGED octaves manner.
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the
C major arpeggio for 7-string baritone guitar (F♯1 standard - F♯BEADF♯B).
