Bass notes download

The pentatonic minor scale is extremely versatile, and can be used in a number of musical situations. The blues scale is simply a pentatonic minor scale that has been embellished with a single, additional note. This common scale is used not only in blues, but also in rock, metal, jazz and many other musical styles. It comprises 7 notes 8 including the octave , spaced: whole tone, whole tone, semitone, whole tone, whole tone, whole tone, semitone.

On the bass fretboard, adjacent frets are a semitone apart. Therefore a whole tone interval means skipping a fret.

Having a good knowledge of bass scales is an useful skill for a bass guitarist.

Scales are used in writing basslines, in improvisation and in songwriting. Our Bass Scales Backing Tracks album contains a selection of tracks, each of which allows you play along using a specific scale.

Use the tracks to invent bass lines or to improvise bass solos. See more information and hear sample tracks on this page. Our Bass Modes Backing Tracks album contains tracks that allow you to experiment with modal scales.

Modal scales are scales derived from the major scale, with each one having its own individual sound. Our backing tracks will help you learn and master modes on your bass guitar. One big difference in how most guitarists and players of non-fretted instruments learn scales is that guitarists learn scales in shapes, or patterns , rather than by learning the actual sequence of notes contained in each scale. Patterns show where the notes fall on the bass neck in relation to each other.
