Thus, for each of them, you will discover on the left page the name and the location of the notes on the neck (22 boxes), as well as the chords on which the scale in question can be played safely. On the right page, as an illustration, you will discover a long bass line that uses this one and only range, accompanied by two recordings (to download), the first for the demonstration and the second for the implementation (playback support). You can then play your turn on this soundtrack not only the example offered, but also any other groove or bass line of your design... from the minor scale in question of course!
