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-minor arpeggio (1 ♭3 3 5 - C E♭ E G) are detailed below in the BAGED octaves manner.
