Walking the Chords of a B Major Scale for Advanced Bass Guitar

Video Transcript

"So now that we've gone through and written down our tab, you want to make sure you notate the actual alphabetical names of the scale, so we're going to go back to look at the tab again. You're going to want to write this down, four, six, seven, four, six, seven, four, six, eight, four, six, eight. Now the low string, we start on G sharp, A sharp, and then we have B which is our seventh chord. And make sure you have the sharps around here; again, we're in the key of B major which has five sharps. And as we keep going we got C sharp, D sharp, then E, over the seventh fret. F sharp over the fourth fret, G sharp over the sixth, A sharp over the eighth fret, and then B on our fourth fret on our top string. And then you have C sharp and D, left again. Here you have the seven note scale, starting on B on the seventh fret going up to B on the fourth fret; you have B, C sharp, D sharp, E, F sharp, G sharp, A sharp. And as we go through, say we have a D chord, we go B, C, D, so we know it's a three chord. It might be a sharp for that if we go through the analyzation. But you want to make sure you have this all written down at home, so when we go through and we go through our analyzation of the tune that we're going to go through, you'll be able to write these chords down, and you'll be able to figure out how to find them as they are in reference to this scale. Our B major scale."
