David asks…

Are bass scales the same as Guitar Scales?

So are Bass scales the same as Guitar Scale *minus* the 1st and 2nd strings.

Becasue i Used the site http://www.chordbook.com/guitarscales.php to learn guitar scale and would want to know if when i start bass i all ready have the scales learnt ??

Terry Santos answers:

Actually, guitars, like catfish, don't HAVE scales. Bluegills have scales, just like your bass.

Mark asks…

Bass Guitar Scales !!! Help Please?

I've started playing bass for over 3 weeks now. learnt a couple songs, some hard, some easy. last week i had lernt the major and minor scales from my teacher. now i did ask him, 'using scales you could imrpovise if you knew what key you were in?', and he said 'yes i'll show you and demonstrated'.

My question to you guys is ' which scales would you use to imrpovise on different songs (i know theres plenty but tell me them)
Also ' How would i go about imrpovising, because learning songs is Okay for me, i want to take Music A level and really want to imrpovise to show my skills and to make my own funky basselines.

Thanks A Mill

Terry Santos answers:

You improvise by following the chord progression of the song. As the chords change, the scale pattern you are improvising with changes. What type of scale you would want to use would depend a great deal on the song itself and specifically the chord progression and complexity of the chords used.. I say scale pattern because you do not want to play scales in an improvision. When you do that, you just sound like you are practicing. Learn the scale patterns and the notes in all of the chords and from that you will instinctively know how to improvise and what scale pater is best for what chord and progression. It would help if you have a good chord book like the Hal Leonard Picture Chord Encyclopedia.

Bass Guitar Scales Improv Help !?

Terry Santos answers:

A good way to improvise is to play the scale of the "I" chord of the key you are in.(Lets say Blues Scale)....

Play the 1st note.
Then the 1st 2nd 1st.
Then the 1st 2nd 3rd 2nd 1st.
Then the 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 3rd 2nd 1st.
Just keep it going like that....

Blues Scale-
1st, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th, flat 7th, octave.
---------

So play......

1st, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 4th, flat 3rd, 1st.

1st, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th, flat 5th, 4th, flat 3rd, 1st.

1st, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th, flat 7th, 5th, flat 5th, 4th, flat 3rd, 1st

1st, flat 3rd, 4th, flat 5th, 5th, flat 7th, octave, flat 7th, 5th, flat 5th, 4th, flat 3rd, 1st.....

After you get that far, include higher and lower octaves.

Experiment with rythmic patterns such as throwing it over a Shuffle, Rhumba, or a swing. This should give you hundreds of improv ideas.

Jenny asks…

Looking for a simple method to use musical scales to guitar and bass?

I have been playing guitar and bass for years. While I know many chords I am not able to understand how to apply the different scales to guitar leads or base patterns. Does anyone have any good websites for this??
Thanks Dave. I picked up bass after playing guitar. I understand that the bass patterns are actually chord progressions via notes. The bass is an awesome intrument, it is like you are playing a lead lick all through the song!

Terry Santos answers:

There are a lot of books and other media on scales and their relation to chords. I play bass and have been struggling with this same issue for year. It boils down to knowing theory. This link to a guitar forum has some great insights and suggestions:

Steven asks…

Bass guitar scales? Please Help?

So.. I really do not understand scales. I have read about scales from quite a few resources but I am still utterly lost. So please tell me everything you know about scales. Thank you so much :)

Terry Santos answers:

Dr X's answer is correct but maybe you need to understand the theory more. A scale is the path you take through an octave (like from a C to a high C). Start from any note; if you go up just one fret, that's a half-step (like C to C#, 3rd to 4th fret on your A string). If you go up two frets, it's a whole step (like C to D, 3rd to 5th fret on your A string).

With "w" for whole steps and "h" for half steps, a major scale goes wwhwwwh. A minor scale goes whwwwhw. Try doing that on just one string to start, say your E string:

E major will look like this:
E - 0 - 2 - 4 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 11 - 12

E minor will look like this:
E - 0 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 10 - 12

So far so good? Now, as you probably know, the fifth fret on one string is the same as the next string up, played open. That means you can go up the scale without constantly having to slide your hand up the neck.

So you can play your E major scale like this:
G - -------------------------------
D - -------------------------1 - 2
A - ------------ 0 - 2 - 4 -------
E - 0 - 2 - 4 --------------------

Or the pattern Dr. X showed you. Use www.studybass.com, or get a book of bass scales (they're only $10 or so) and it will show you lots of patterns to follow. Once you're comfortable with major and minor scales, you can move on into more complex things like modes and things like mixolydian scales, etc.
