@jallis12 on a theoretical level, the bass and guitar are the same instrument separated by only an octave, like a bari and alto sax. Obviously, the approaches in practice are much different. But yes, some guitar lessons are great for learning bass.
Even if you moved a major scale anywhere and still played the notes abcdefg, it would still be in the key of C. If it was in the key of G, you would move every F to a F#. ( or up a fret ).
There are better integrated scale systems than this but it has been around a long time and can be related to a chord form. The CAGED system. The labeling of the scale forms have no meaning and make it needlessly hard.
this is probably very stupid question, but what is it good for? when u can remember just one scale, f/e without stretched finger and move it anywhere? how do I use it in practice?
i guess, what this is is an example of how to build ur neck skills. this is only 1 scale, c major right? Well, you need to learn all the major scales at first then move on to minors and whatnot. there are alot of chords, but what you can do with this is build great speed playing the scales. When they play c maj chord, you solo using the scale, and as long as you use that scale for the same chord, you will sound good. thats what i get out of it.
i think you can use it to create your own licks, solos or riffs. Just by playing random notes inside the scale. Just play around and see what sounds good to your years and try to improve that sequence
After you play the scales enough you will develop your ear to the point where the intervals will become so natural that anything you hear in your head you will immediately know where that note is on the neck. At that point you will no longer play random patterns but be able to truly improvise and compose on the fly. That's what Jazz is all about, not memorized solos, scales and riffs. To achieve this takes hundreds of hours or more of intense practice.
Do most guitar players use chromatic steps or diatonic steps, adding to the c#/Bb thing, i am just wondoring. ITs the same thing but i know different instruments will use the different scales.
What do you mean? I know what chromatic and diatonic scales are, but I don't know what you mean by chromatic and diatonic steps. Are you talking about playing 13 note chromatic scales as opposed to 8 note diatonic major scales?
All guitar teachers should be teaching these exercises. This is pretty basic guitar scale theory/technique here. The next step is knowing the circle of fifths to divine why it would typically be Db not C#.
Though I could never achieve the level of musicianship Berklee demands, I thank you greatly for allowing me to get these free lessons. They have helped more than you could know.
these guitar lessons are awesome for bass

@DonConstantinos Use your first, second and fourth finger, not your third

actually, if you changed it to play abcdefg it would be A minor.

There are gaps with this system.

Memorizing where the notes are helps a lot as well.

and if you learn the notes you are playing - say the notes - you can orientate yourself around the fret board.

if he says "from the first note of a major scale, move up a diatonic step" it means move from C to D..
if he says a chromatic step, it'd be from C to C#

the labelling is different from major scale video
1a becomes 1
1b becomes 1a
