Scale Visuals of a D Flat Scale on a Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

RYAN LARSON: So now, we're going to take a visual look at our D flat major scale, and we're going to start by just explaining the frets. So you want to play your fingers down. For the first position, just one finger on each fret: 1-2-3-4. And we start on our third string here, which is the--if this is our low string, it's one string up from there, so we've got third string, 4th fret, to up a string, 1st fret, 3rd fret, 4th fret, 1st fret, 3rd fret, 5th fret, 6th fret is on the 1--1 or 6-5-3-1-4-3-1-4. So you really want to go through and write that down. I will show you how it's written out too, and you also have numbers that go with it: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1, 1-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. So as we go through, we'll walk through the numbers. So say we start in the chord that starts on 2, we go 2-5-1. So I'm walking through the scale pattern, but I'm utilizing these different roots. And we'll go through and show you a lot of examples, so you can really see how we're utilizing this D flat major scale.
