The electric bass guitar belongs to the string family of instruments and is similar to other guitars in structure. The bass has a slightly larger body than the regular electric guitar and is played an octave lower in pitch. This instrument is a popular replacement instrument for the double bass and is featured in all genres of music. The body of the bass guitar is usually made of wood such as maple and rosewood. It is played by plucking the four strings that are stretched from base to the neck of the instrument. The bass produces a bass line in tunes, but can also be featured in a solo.

"RYAN LARSON: So today, we're going to go over the D flat major scale, and we're going to get all the different chords that come out of this scale. There are seven chords, seven notes in the scale: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1. I'm going to show you all these different ways to read through the scale and to utilize the different notes that come out of the scale and how to start on different notes, right. So if we go D, E, so this is our E flat minor chord, then we have up here G flat, A flat, B flat, C and D. So you've got all these different chords. So say you see a C diminished chord, you will know it comes out of D flat major. And we'll go through and show you how to find all these different chords. And we're going to start reading through a couple of examples, so you can see how they are used in reference to real book tunes. And we took some basic tunes that you find in the real book including a bebop blues, and there's a lot of different bebop blues heads out there that runs through the same chord changes. And then we'll utilize the chord changes to "Mack the Knife," which is a nice simple tune, which stays within this major harmony. And we will go through and analyze these tunes and show you how to walk some baselines through nice simple standards."
