Walking the Chords of a D Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

So now we are going to actually name the D flat major scale and if we look at our tab again, you want to go to your tab at home and write these letters above so when you go through an analyze the tune, it's easy. It just goes from D to D in the alphabet so we go up to G and start at A again. So you have D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D. So we're starting on the four and if you add the flats. D flat has four flats, D flat, E flat, F, G flat, A flat, B flat, C, D flat, and then you can keep going this way, E flat or if you go down you've got D flat, C, B flat, A flat. But you want to make sure you write these down because when we go in, say we have an E flat chord, we want to find where E flat is, we can go, D flat, E flat. Okay, it's on the sixth fret, on the third string and you can use this as a reference point so when a chord comes up you know where to start the chord, and then if it's a minor chord you can apply your minor scale. If it's a major scale, you can apply your major scale. So what you're doing is your finding these roots and then applying the scale that goes along with it, most logically so you can just move through it and play through it real quick. All you really have to do is find your root and then go there and play the scale that is given to you. So you want to write that down. D flat, E flat, F, G flat, A flat, B flat, C, D flat. You can even write it below, just write the scale, and mark it one through seven. D flat, E flat, F, G flat, A flat, B flat, C, and that's your scale.
