This is the basic Major scale exercise for guitar and bass.
These are rather important for the aspiring string instrumentalist to learn and memorize.
It is set up mainly for bass guitar, with the four strings, but for 6 string players, just
remember that these are the four lowest strings of your instrument.
These are the major scales, which are bright and mellow when compared to the minor.
They pull off a "happy" type sound when put to music.
