Upright Bass in E: B7 (Seven)

So now that we have our E major down, and our F sharp minor down, we're going to learn our last chord, which is our B seven, and our seventh chords are derived out of the fifth note of the scale, so if I go one, two, three, four, five, there's B right there. So now I'm going to walk from five to five, which is my high note here, so I got one, two, three, four, one, two, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and that's your B seven scale. And again you want to number it from one to seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. One, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. If you go down. Seven, six, five, two, five, one. And that's your B major scale starting on your second finger, second string, going up to your pinky on your top string.
