Tips for reading a B Flat Bass Chart

So now that we learned this whole new set of intervals let's have some fun with it. So we have one, and let's go to the minor triad. A minor triad goes, one, flat three, five. So our major triad was one, three, five. Minor triad, major triad, right? A flat major triad, B flat minor triad. Or say we want to go up to the flat seventh. Or if we want to apply this to our other scale, our A flat seven now we know our flat seven is right here, right? Up two strings on the same fret. So by going around and making yourself familiar with this scale and how it falls on the keyboard you get all these intervals. And then when you go look at a couple other scales you see how the intervals are exactly the same it'll make the bass a very simple and easy machine for you to utilize.
