Major Scales

The notes that are associated with a given key are called a scale.
There are great many number of different scales (both harmonic scales and scales in different “”song keys”"

One of the easiest scales to begin to play is the major key scale. For example C major. Major key scales are
constructed by using seven notes starting on the root (in this case “”c”"), all notes are then a whole step apart
except for the 3rd and 4th notes which are a half step apart.

So for example the scale of C major in bass tab is

G—————–2–4–5–

D——–2–3–5———–

A–3–5——————–

E————————–

This scale is tranferable so the Key in D Major (slide up the fretboard) is:

G—————–4–6–7–

D——–4–5–7———–

A–5–7——————–

E————————–

So there’s nothing really to it - now practice these with a metronome, trying them in different keys up the fretboard, make sure tha that you
practice at different tempo’s too.
