Natural Minor Two-Octave Scales & Modes on Bass

CASEY CORMIER: Okay. So, we just explored the major scale in two octaves on a few different keys. Now we can use that same kind of theories but different fingerings, of course, to use, to explore the minor, the natural minor two-octave scales. So if you recall, we will just do examples E, A and D, starting from open strings that we might be well familiar with. So, E first. Remember, one octave, E, F sharp, G, A, B, C, D, E. If we are going to go from here, E, F sharp, G, A, B, C, D, E. There is a little more leaping involved. So maybe, instead, we go to the D on the A string with our first finger, but we going to have to slide up to here. That is probably the best idea. One, 2, 3. Now we have that movable minor scale here. It is hard because we have to take big whole steps to get to the E to the octave. Let us try with the A really quick. A, we know it's all natural notes, A minor, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A.
