Upright Bass in Gb: Number 1-7 Db

So now that we have our D flat seventh scale down, we want to number it one through seven again, starting on D flat. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, one. And you got that high D flat. One, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, seven, six, five, four, three, four, five, six, seven, one... six, seven, one, one, six, seven, one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven... so, number your bass from one through seven, or number your scale I should say. And you want to really go through, and again you get all those intervals there, you got a second, you got a major third, fifth, right, there's your triad. G flat major. A flat major. And I use the major third, that's what makes it major, right. So I'm going a little out of the pattern, but it all makes sense if you think about it.
