Movable Minor: Bass Guitar Scales

Video Transcript

O.K. So now we know how to find the relative minor. We know the whole step and half step composition. Let's find the movable form so that we can play anywhere on the neck. So, lets actually try to look at a comparison between C major and it's movable pattern and now lets create a C minor pattern. These aren't relatives of each other. They are not in the same key at all. They have different notes. C, D, E flat, F, G, A flat, B flat, C. Lets take a look at the fingering we can create with this. So, in tablature, we start on the 3rd fret of the A string, the C. The pattern is 3rd, 5th, 6th, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 3rd, 5th. The fingering is 1, 3, and 4. You don't even use your second finger for the movable minor scale pattern. Here's G minor. It's the same shape but starting on the G on the low E string. G, A, B flat; is the 6th fret. C, D, E flat, F, and then G octave 5th fret. So, this is your movable minor scale. Compare it and contrast it with your movable major and try to find some examples in relatives of one another.
