Walking Measures 5-6 of a D Flat Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

So now we are on measures five and six and we have our G major chord or our sharp four chord. So now we are going to play our major scale that we have learned and we are going to start on the sharp four. It is very simple, this is our major scale, so now we have to go one two three four, here is our sharp four, so now we can utilize the same pattern. So now we only have the string above it and the string below it. But we still have one two three four five six seven eight nine notes out of the major scale to move around in and that is plenty of notes to get us going for just two measures. Just notice how I keep coming back to the sharp four root. You always want to go down to the root on the down beat. So go through and you can watch your sharp four and it is right after that same major scale you learned in D flat.
