Big Thanks!

I just bought a bass to play dub and reggea and this tune sure comes in handy.

Furthermore I think this is the perfect beginner track because:

- It has very few chord variations
- It's slow (70bpm)
- it grooves and you can feel it
- Therefore good for practicing different rhythm variations


For knowing what notes to play between the root notes I have currently the following procedure:

- got to http://fretmap.com/#/major-blues-scale
- select the key , here G
- select a scale , I went with major blues. Not 100% sure how to pick this. I just let my ears decide.
- look at the lower 4 strings which are the bass string in standard tuning *
- as you can see, your fingers will move only between the 5th and the 9th fret. G,A,B and one single D at the end


PS:
I'm a bloody beginner. So if you can point me into any direction on how to learn all this harmonic stuff faster, I gladly take any advice.

* If you know how to run javascript paste the following in a console to only show what you need to see as a bass player

document.getElementById('fretboard-wrap').style = 'position: relative;top: 92px;'
document.getElementById('current-root-scale').style = 'opacity: 0.1';
