In this video I explain what the major and minor Blues scales are and how to play them on the bass guitar.

Blues scales are essential for bass players to know as they are used all the time in styles of music such as Blues, Jazz, Rock, and Funk.

You can use Blues Scales for:
1. Constructing bass lines
2. Creating great sounding bass riffs
3. Bass fills and licks

You will find bass fretboard diagrams in the video lesson and you can download the free PDF with all the lesson information using the link at the top of this description.

This bass video tutorial is suitable for absolute beginner bass players through to intermediate bassists.
