Tablature of a B Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

Now we're going to take a look at how the B flat major scale is written out in tab. If you take a look here, this is your standard tab. You can find this on the Internet. And you'll notice we have four lines here. Each one represents a string. From your G string, your high string. And you go down to your D string, A string, E string and your low string. And again, remember we started out our sixth fret, and there's our B flat, right. Six, eight, ten, six, eight, ten, seven, eight, ten, seven, eight, ten. So now you want to take a second, maybe stop the video and write this down. Pause it, and really write it down so you can go back and reference because we're going to use this throughout the entire lesson. Six, eight, ten, six, eight, ten, seven, eight, ten, seven, eight ten. And then, above that you want to go ahead and write the actual scale degrees out. B flat, C, D, E flat, F, G, A, B flat, C, D, E flat, F. And I went ahead and I put a square around the B flat so you could easily reference to them. And remember we went to our seventh scale. An F7 scale is out of B flat major. And it starts right here on the eighth fret second string, and goes to the tenth fret on the top string. And then we also had our minor chord which is right next to your one major square and its C minor. C minor to C minor, right there. And as we go through and learn these scales, they're all seven notes scales, so if you count from B to B you have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. Or if you go from C to C, you get your seven note minor scale. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and then you're on C again. So you want to go down and write this all down at home. And make sure you write this whole thing down starting with the tab six, eight, ten, six, eight ten, seven, eight, ten, seven, eight, ten and then the scale degrees. B flat, C, D, E flat, F, G, A, B flat, C, D, E flat, F. And remember B flat had two flats, B flat and E flat.
