Yes, this helps more than you can imagine. Especially when you first start off -- lay that foundation, heh. You'd be surprised how much it makes a difference.

i like tictacs wrote:no.tab.for.learning.scales. if your a beginner stop resorting to tab, learn some theory, learn what notes are where on the neck and how to read sheet music. tab is a hard habit to break. Here is a A major scale for example...

A-B-C-C#-D#-F-G-A

play that on the bass, bam you just played an Amaj scale.

Isn't this the Amaj scale?A B C# D E F# G# A?

I almost edited this thinking i was wrong, but Amaj scale has the same notes on guitar too, correct? because if so, that is the Amaj scale

that is whole whole half whole whole whole half... I believe you're wrong with the A-B-C-C#-D#-F-G-A because i'm sure of it that Amaj is A B C# D E F# G# A.. are you forgeting B and C are a half step apart?

hey, I just recently realized that i needed to learn the actual notes on the bass and scales and stuff like that and leave the tabs alone. So, i found this note chart, and i was wondering what would be the best way to learn all of the notes.

.. why the hell would you give him that wrong scale first? (your missing f)

start with C my friend..

C D E F G A B C

you should see a trend of WWHWWWH.
W = whole step (skip a fret)
H=half step (the touching fret)

All scales are like that.

C and D are a W apart.
D and E are a W
E and F are a H
etc...

You can create any major scale like that.
