Measures 5-8 of a B Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Now we're going to take a look a Measures "5" through "8". And we have a "E" major scale. But if you recall, "E" flat is our note out of our major scale, so we got, "B,C,D,E". So it's our "4" cord, but instead of an "E" flat, it's a sharp "4", right, because we've gone from "E" flat to "E", so that's our sharp "4" major cord. And then we have "F" minor, which is our "5", right; "B,C,D,E,F ", "5" minor to our "1/7" cord. And now we're playing a "7th" scale, but we'll show you how to do that when we actually go through and rock the base. So what we're going to do right now, is just find those roots, and play it through. So if this is our "1", right; "1,2,3,4", but it's a sharp "4", so you just raise it up a fret. So you got your 3rd dot here, which is your "7th" fret, second string, and that's your "E" major, then it goes to your "5", "F" minor, and then to "1". So if we do that with Latin base, we can go; the "5th" is always up a string and over 2 frets, or on the same fret and down a string. So you got "1,5,5,1". So I started on "E", right; "F", "B" flat. So our progression again was, "E" for 2 measures, "F" for measure, "B" flat. So those are your next 4 bars, and you go through and notate those roots, and then you can get some Latin base going. And we're going to go through and take it to the next level in the next couple of scenes.
