Walking Measures 1-2 of an E Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now, we have the whole form down, so we can start walking through the first couple of measures here. So we have our one minor chord. So you might say, "Hey Ryan, well we learned our one major scale, so how are we supposed to play a one minor scale?" So what we do is, we take the minor scale we learned out of the one major, right, remember our two minor. We just start on the two. Same pattern. And just slide it down two frets so you have this. So now we're playing an actual, we're playing a D flat major scale, but we're using the minor degrees, so E flat minor. Little chromatic notes there. So by using the minor scale we've already learned, which is derived out of our major scale, we can just slide the root down to our one, and just play that scale, and it's gold.
