EDBAG octaves (BEADG : 5-string bass standard tuning)
F bebop dominant scale - general
In this BLOGoZON we take a look at the F bebop dominant scale box shapes and join them all together to form one long EDBAG octaves chain for 5-string bass in standard tuning.
The EDBAG octaves sequence is shown for F natural in the diagram that follows:-
The diagrams that follow show all of the F bebop dominant scale notes plotted over the 5-string bass's BEADG fretboard in the EDBAG octaves and GuitarPro6 styles:-
NOTE :- The GuitarPro6 fingerboard that follows shows both E♭'s and B♭'s enharmonic equivalent spellings of D♯ and A♯ (the augmented third!!! interval name rather than the perfect fourth; the augmented sixth interval name rather than the minor seventh ) used elsewhere on this page.
As always a more long term solution to fretboard navigation is to see scales as INTERVAL shapes rather than note names - as these are universal to all scales, arpeggios and chords rather than specific to one particular root note - with this in mind the intervals for the F bebop dominant scale are detailed below in the
EDBAG octaves manner:-
The tables and tabbed panels below detail all five box shapes for the F bebop dominant scale in the
EDBAG octaves style.

Once the individual box shapes have been assimilated all five shapes should be linked together and played in one continuous exercise (with the first shape - 4E2 - being repeated at the 12th fret). The video shown to the right demonstrates the EDBAG octaves chain-linked sequence for the F bebop dominant scale box shapes. |
