Upright Bass in F: Number 1-7 G Minor

So now that we have our G major scale down, we're going to number it one through seven like we did before, and again that will get us all our major intervals, right, we have our second minor third, fourth, fifth, sixth, our flat seven, and our one. And the most important thing to notice is a minor third, and the fifth, we have another fifth here. Before we had our fifth here, right, and you hear the same. So if we go a fifth up one string, it's right here. And then a fifth back is up two strings right there. There's your minor triad. Major triad. Minor triad. And then major triad. And then so on and so forth. So it's very important for you to number the scale, from one through seven, so you can get these basic intervals again, and get them under your fingers. And also you want to get this scale down pat. And that's your G major scale.
