Walking Measures 1-2 of a B Major Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now we're going to whack through the entire piece. We have our first chord, our B-minor chord. Again, we learned our B-major scale, right? So, you're going to, might be saying, how do we play a minor scale over it? Well, our minor scale started off our second degree. One, two. So we start here. And that's our pattern, right? Up a fret, err, skip a fret, next fret, up a fret, skip a fret, skip a fret, skip a fret, skip a fret, skip a fret. So we're going to take this minor pattern that we have out of our major scale and move it down a fret and start on our one. And now we can walk that for two measures. And that's our one minor chord. So we have taken that same scale we've learned, and started on the second degree and moved the root from here to here. And so we whacked through our first two measures of our piece in B-major.
