Misc - Scale Formation (good For Beginners) bass tab
Most Major Scales have a basic set up. For example, lets start with the G major
scale:
G|---------------------|
D|-----------2-4-5-----|
A|-----2-3-5-----------|
E|-3-5-----------------|
2 4 1 2 4 1 3 4
Now, as shown above, finger per fret on scales is basically a must if you want
speed. The correct formation of scales, with finger per fret, is:
Index finger= 1
Middle finger= 2
Ring Finger= 3
Pinky= 4
2, 4,
1, 2, 4,
1, 3, 4
Every change of lines indicates a higher string. For example, if you wanted
to play a D major scale coming off of the E string, you would play:
|-----------------|
|-----------4-6-7-|
|-----4-5-7-------|
|-5-7-------------|
2 4 1 2 4 1 3 4
