Playing A Root Scales on Bass Guitar in G Flat (Gb)

Video Transcript

RYAN LARSON: Now, we've found G flat as our root here. And now if we go through the scale, we're going to get our minor chord, which is the second degree of the scale. So if we look over here at our pattern again. Remember here are our open strings, and these are our fret markings for tabs. So we have 1, 2, 3 and 4, so here's our 1. What we're going to do is make 2 the root and then you have A flat minor, and you can go through the same scale: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, and you end on the 2 again. And that's your minor scale. It is derived out of D flat major. That's how you play A flat minor. So go through and play 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2. And again, if you're going to walk the bebop with it, put a chromatic note in there so that you have an even scale. So we're going to walk that now. So you have 2-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1. So notice now I'm aiming for the 2's, this right here, 2 and 2, my high 2's. Here's 1-3-5-1. So that's your A flat minor which comes out of G flat major. That's how you walk through and find those intervals on the bass.
