Measures 1-4 of an E Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now that we have our scale down we're ready to start doing our analyzation. And we'll start right here on our first four measures. Again you're going to want to write this down at home. If you don't have manuscript paper you can just write it on a blank sheet of paper and just write out some lines for your barre lines. And write in your chords, so you have E flat minor here, and G flat minor here, etcetera etcetera. And for right now we're just going to use this because we have it already written out for us nice and easy. So we have our E flat minor chord, so that's on one minor, and minor chords we write with Roman numerals, lower case Roman numerals. Major chords get upper case Roman numerals. So we have E flat and then G flats, we got, E, F, G. So this is a three chord in this minor, so I know that's a lower case numeral. Now it's a G flat which is out of our scale, right, so, we're going to have to drop it down and flat this too so we have a flat three. So we have our one minor to our flat three, now to go find that on the bass. Here's our one, right. So there's our one minor. And I'm just going to do a simple bossa where you go, if you start on the one, and then go up a string and up two frets, you get the fifth. And then we have one, two, three, right, so I flat these right here. So one, to flat three. One. To flat three. So those are your first two chords, and a simple Latin bass to go over those different routes.
