Tablature of a B Major Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

Now, were going to introduce how to read the scale as it's written in tab and this is a very easy standard way that a lot of beginning musicians learn. So, you want to go down and write this at home. Notice that you have four lines and you want to write down four lines, and we go up the scale from string to string starting from our low string, and we started here on seven, that's our route, but you want to write four fret and sixth fret before that because we have our two notes that come before in route that are on the low strings. We have four, six, seven, and you want to put a square around that to notate it as the route of the scale. Then, on the next string we have four, six, seven again, and then on our top two strings we have four, six, eight, and then four, six, eight. So, you want to really write this pattern down, four, six, seven, four, six, seven, four, six, eight, four, six, eight. And these numbers are just giving reference to the fret numbers, so fourth fret, sixth fret, seventh fret, fourth fret, sixth fret, seventh fret, fourth fret, sixth fret, eighth fret. And, if we go up we get our major scale, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. And our two other scales, start on the next route over. So, if I start on the next one over from seven I get my minor chord. My "c" sharp minor, which is four, six, seven, four, six, seven, four, six, and then I'm on "c" sharp again. And you notice that I notated all the alphabetical letters of the scale up here too. Were going to go over that in the next segment but it's very important as we go through and analyze. Say, we see a "d" sharp chord we can know where the route is, it's on the sixth fret of the second string. Or, say we have a "g" sharp chord it's on the sixth fret of the third string. But, were going to go through more of that and really get into the analyzation in the next couple of scenes.
