Measures 1-4 of a B Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

No we're going to go through and analyze the first four measures to our Real Book tune and if we zoom in here, we start right off. And you want to write these measures down. If you don't have staff paper you can just write it on regular paper and just write bar lines like this. And write the chords in between so you'll have B flat minor and then you'll have D flat minor over here and it will keep going. And you want to do four lines of that and then the last line has only two. And you start with B flat minor and the way we analyze it is we go up the alphabet, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B. B being one, so this is our one minor. And we notate that with a lower case roman numeral. And then we have D flat and if you remember our scale, D is our note out of our scale so we have B, C, D. But, this is a D flat, so this is a flat three minor. So, you have two minor chords to start off with and remember we learned our B flat major scale not our minor. So, what we're going to have to do is take our C minor scale pattern and just slide it down to B flat and then we'll go through that when we walk through it. And then we do the same thing for D flat. We just slide it up to D flat. So, what I'm going to do now if just find those two notes. There's our B flat, right? Right there sixth fret and one, two, three, but it's a flat three, right? D flat, so it's right here on the third, fourth dot. So, we go one minor, and I'm just going one to five. Latin bass. One up to three minor or flat three minor. And now you can just keep going back and forth. But, you want to really get those root notes under your fingers so that when we go apply the minor scale we can go. So, you have your sixth fret to your seventh, eighth, ninth fret. Six to nine. And those are your first two chords out of our Real Book tune.
