Measures 5-8 of a B Major Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now we're down here at measures five through eight. We have an F major chord, so we go B, C, D, E, F, so it's a five chord, and it's a major chord, but out of our scale we have F sharp right, B, C sharp, D sharp, E, F sharp. So that's a flat five. So again we're bringing it down a notch. So if you're going from a flat to a natural you're going down. Or a sharp to a natural you're going down. And if you're going from a flat to a natural you're going up, so, we're going down. Then we have our F sharp minor, so that's our five minor chord. And then we have B seven, our one-seven chord. We're going to have to use a different scale for that, but we'll go over that when we go walking through the actual chords. So we have our flat four, our flat five chord to our five chord, to our one chord. So if we go back to our scale, we have one, two, three, four, five, so flat five is right here to five, to one. And your other fifth for doing your Latin bass is up two strings and back three frets. I could also use this five. So again you have your flat five to five, one, and that's going to lead into our four chord, which will start us off in our next measure.
