E Minor: Bass Guitar Scales

Let's look at another relative major and minor pair. This time E minor and G major. So you recall from G major. We had G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G. Well a relative minor scale is going to contain the same notes in a different pattern. The relative from the G, 3 fret down. 1, 2, 3. Starts on open E. So, E minor scale. E, F sharp, G, A, B, C, D, and E. Notice that's the same pattern as the A minor was. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A; only with an F sharp. So different notes but the same relative pattern. Remember the step pattern as well. If you have that written on a piece of paper, just start. Make the G major scale: G, A, B, C, D, E, F sharp, G. Then start your step count on the E of that scale. E, F sharp, G, A, B, C, D, E.
