Glossary: Octave
An octave is an interval of eight notes, including the top note and the bottom note. The note name is the same at the top as it is at the bottom i.e. G.

This is called the octave shape and Figure 4 is showing that by moving along two frets and across two strings connects your low note with your higher note. This is a very important connection for you to understand because:
The connection between low and high notes enables us to create more rock grooves by combining the lower and higher notes to create an interesting sound with the use of octave bass lines.
We will use this knowledge to develop our rock grooves across all notes, but firstly we should become comfortable with our G octave.
I am sure that you have now made the connection, but we have in Figure 6, below, shown the octave shape for G as it will appear on your musical stave.
