Advanced Bass Guitar in the Key of Db (D Flat)

So, today were going to go over a "d" flat major scale. Which is this nice simple pattern. And were really going to get this pattern under our fingers. And what's great about it is you can play it off of any fret. So, I can start here, and I can even move it down to a lower fret, and I can move it up a higher fret. So, were going to take this scale and really show you how to utilize it and run it through and, there's two other chords, you got two. If you start on the second degree of the scale, you get a minor scale, right? So, if when we first started here, now if you start here, you get a minor scale, and if you start on a fifth degree, one, two, three, four, five, you get a seventh scale. So, were going to go through and show you how to get these patterns under your fingers, and once you have the patterns down and you know the names of all the scales, we going to through and analyze a chart in "d" flat, were going to go through and show you how to move these scales around and by utilizing these different route notes you can play through a simple, jazz tune, or, a Latin tune, or, a funk tune, and just really get all these chord changes, and all this theory under your fingers rather quickly, just by utilizing this one major scale.
