Notes above high C, part 2
- Alright, now for notes above high C, part two. So, even though the bass is a really low instrument, by playing some of these higher notes, it really sounds cool. It can bring out a lot of extra flavor in a groove. So, let's check out two extra notes. First thing is high D sharp or E flat, this is at the eighth fret. And then, high E is at the ninth fret, way up here. Of course, that's shown with two ledger lines above the staff. Let's try out an exercise that uses the high D sharp and E. Here we go. Alright, now let's do an exercise that uses the E flat, so that D sharp, we'll just use as E flat here. Check it out. Alright, now let's check out a full two-octave E major scale. Check this one out. Here we go. Alright, now let's try some bass licks in E major. Here's the first one. Alright, and now let's move on to bass lick in E major, number two. Here we go. And last, let's do bass lick in E major, number three. Here we go.
