Questions & AnswersNow our minor scale flatted the third of the seventh, the seventh scale only flats the seven, and we'll show you that right now. So, if we have one, two, three, four, five, our seventh scale starts on the fifth note, so we have D flat. So this is our one, and we have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And you notice now we have a major third and a flat seven which is on the same fret there. So we got D flat, E flat, F, G flat, A flat, B flat, C flat. And then up another two frets would be D flat again. So that would look like this, if you look at my bass, so it's up there. So that's a good exercise to start expanding your fretboard even more, going from D flat up to D flat. Or if you just want to walk within this pattern. You're just going to come back to that note, a lot.
