Measures 1-4 of a B Major Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

So now we have our first two measures. Our first four measures, and we're going to go through and analyze them right down here. So we have a B minor and a D minor. Notice I wrote out all these barres. At home you want to write this all down, so you want to write four measures. And if you don't have manuscript paper you can just notate them by writing measures like this. And you can write D minor. And then we have D minor. And we're going to go through and do our analysis. So we start on B, so that's our one chord. Notice it's not B major, its B minor. So we notate minor chords with a lowercase Roman numeral and it's a one minor, so we're going to have to use a different scale, but we'll go over that when we go through actual walking. Right now we're just finding the roots. So we have B minor, so we play our first note in our scale as the root. And then our next chord is D, so we got B, C, D, so it's a three minor chord. But remember in our scale its D sharp, and this is a D natural, so we're going down a step, so we're going to write flat three. So we go from our one minor to our flat three minor. So even though this chord is outside of our scale we can still find it by putting it in reference to B - B, C, D. So we know it's a three chord but it's outside of the scale so it's a flat three chord. And now to actually find them on the fret board we have - there's our one minor, right, one, there's our root, then we go one, two, three, so there's our three chord, and we have to bring it down a fret. So there's our flat three minor. So one minor to flat three. So now we can do some Latin bass where we go one, five. Again your fifth is up a fret, or up two frets and up a string. And then we're going to go down to our three. And your other five is on the same fret, a string below, so flat three, two, one. Flat three. One. And you want to go through and make sure you have these roots under your fingers, so as we go through and start walking through the different keys you can go back and reference and you'll know right where to start with the scales.
