Upright Bass in E: Numbering 1-7 F Sharp Minor

So now that we started here, what we're going to do is number one through seven again, and I'll explain to why we do this, because what we're really doing is figuring out the intervals of the scale. So if I started here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one, now if I go to a different interval, if I go from one to five, that's a fifth, and you can hear that. Likewise if I go one to seven, that's a seven or if I go one to three. So I can go one, three, five, and that's my minor triad. Now I can take it up a string. So you want to start on two and just make it one and go through that same scale and number. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And then you got all your basic intervals of your F sharp minor scale.
