Advanced Bass Guitar in Eb (E Flat)

So today we are taking our E flat major scale and we will play it nice and high in the low string up on the bass. We are really going to go through and show you this major scale pattern and how you can move it around on the bass. Also how you can get all these different chords and scales just out of this one pattern and utilize it to walk through the whole tune. So if we start on E flat that is our major scale right. If we start we got 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1. So we got 1 to 1 and that is our E flat major scale. Using that same pattern if we start on the two we got a minor scale 2,2. So if make it 1 to 7 we got 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1 and that is your minor scale pattern. If we start on the 5th we got our 7th scale pattern or our 7 chord. Even though it starts on the 5th it is called a 7th chord and you got and that is your 5,7 chord. So by utilizing these different scales we get out of our 1 major scale we can run it through the bass and move the scale pattern, we can play it down here. We can play our minor scale, we can move it down a string and we can do all these different things and we are going to show you how to utilize this. Also how to go through and analyze a real book tune so you can find all of these different roots and then you just have to apply the correct scale pattern once you have that root to that fret that you are starting on.
