4 Introduction The purpose of this book is to help beginner bassist to find the easiest way to play scales, triads and arpeggios. All the examples are written in the key of C in order to make easer the scale comparison. Most scales can be played in more than two positions, so that I would suggest to find all possible roots and play the same fingering showed, also play them in different keys. This book is not intended to be a method and I strongly recommend to find a qualified teacher to help you assimilate the information on this book. Have Fun 8

5 Basics of Reading Music
The fundamentals of music are pitch and rhythm which are placed in a grid of five lines and four spaces called Staff. Bass Players Read Bass Clef. The symbol of the Bass Clef is derived from the old German way of writing “F”. The two dots on the right of the bass clef symbol surround the line on which “F” pitch is written. The notes above are all natural however any of this notes can be raised or lowered a half step by placing a accidental, sharp (#) or flat (b) right before it. When an accidental occurs, it applies to the whole measure unless it is cancelled out with another accidental. Sharp (#) Raises a note one half step. Flat (b) Lowers a notes one half step. Natural (p) Cancells an accidental previously used. F#/ Gb G#/ Ab A#/ Bb C#/ Db D#/ Eb F#/ Gb G#/ Ab A#/ Bb C#/ Db Note: The distance between B and C and E and F is a half step, that’s way there's no # or b in between those notes. J.P.
