Introduction
The Guitar Command Bass Scales, Chords And Arpeggios Book is a reference
book for all bass guitarists. It contains a comprehensive collection of scales,
chords and arpeggios that can be used while improvising and composing.
A good knowledge of scales and arpeggios can help you to compose and
improvise original and exciting bass lines. Playing scales and arpeggios as part
of a regular practice routine can also develop finger dexterity and general
playing technique.
The scales, chords and arpeggios in this book are presented in diagram form.
Multiple diagrams are provided for each type of scale, movable chord and
arpeggio, allowing them to be played all over the neck. Each scale is also
shown in one octave in notation and TAB, with a tonic note of C.
All the commonly used bass chords are also included in a quick reference
section, allowing you to find the chord that you need quickly and easily.
How To Read Scale Diagrams
Bass scale diagrams represent the fretboard, and show where the fretting
fingers should be placed in order to play a scale.
•
The tonic notes (the note that the scale is named after - i.e. the ‘G’ in G
Major) of the scale are represented by white circles; the black circles show
all of the other notes in the scale available in that position.
•
Use the bass fretboard notes diagram on page 5 to position the white
notes over the tonic note you need (see illustration overleaf ).
•
When playing scales, start and end on white notes. When using the
scale in improvisation or while playing a bass line, all of the notes in the
diagram may be used.
•
Some scale diagrams can be used for more than one tonic note (e.g.
diminished scale diagrams). Where this occurs, all of the potential tonic /
root notes are shown as white circles.
The illustration overleaf shows how a major scale diagram is used to play a G
major scale.

In the illustration below, the major scale diagram on the left is shown
overlaid on the bass neck on the right. The white circles are positioned over
G notes on the fretboard; the scale produced by playing up from the lowest
white note to the next (an octave higher) is a G major scale.
If you were to position your hand so that the white circles were over A notes
on the fretboard, the same scale diagram would produce an A Major scale.
Playing Scales
•
To play complete scales, use diagrams that contain two white circles. Play
up from the lowest white note to the highest and down again, playing the
highest note only once.
•
Combine two or more scale diagrams (by changing fretboard position as
you play) to create two octave scales and longer lines.
•
All of the notes in scale diagrams (black and white) can be used in
improvisation or when playing bass lines and riffs.
