Measures 13-16 of a B Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now we're going to go over our last 6 measures. And we start with a "B" minor for 2 measures. Again we're in the key of "B" flat, so that's our sharp "1" minor, so we're going to write that in there; sharp "1" minor cord. And remember before we had our "4" minor, and this is our "1" minor. And then our next cord, "B" minor to "F" sharp. So that's our, "B,C,D,E,F", sharp "5" minor. So even though these cords are outside of the major scale, we still reference them to the major scale so we can find the notes. And then we land on our "5/7" here, which brings us back to our "1". Now we're going to play those roots, and I'll show you how you can play out, and then when you play the "4th's" or the "5/7", how it wants to go back to "B" flat. So if this is our "1", "6" fret, there's our sharp "1", right on the "7th" fret. We have sharp "1" to sharp "5"; "1,2,3,4,5", so sharp "5". So the 3rd dot to the 4th dot. And then we go down to our regular "5", and you can hear how that wants to go to the "1". So we go sharp "1", sharp "5", normal "5", to "1", and wrap the top of the tune. So those are your last 3 cords, to the last 6 measures of our real book tune.
