How to switch from one scale to the other? 0_o
How do I shift key of G Pentatonic Blues Scale to the Key of A Pentatonic Blues Scale with out it sounding bad? I'm sorry if I sound kind of stupid asking this. I tried to shift from one scale to the other but it didn't sound right to me. Can someone help me with this problem?

I'm not too great with theory, but I know what those scales sound like so I might be able to help.
As you finish out your G scale go to an either higher or lower octave on the A scale. Hope this helps. I didn't try it, but I can kinda hear it in my head.

Basically it's all to do with chord/scale harmony. Which notes go well together and which notes don't. I don't really want to go into it now as I wouldn't know where to start, another member might be able to fill you in. But a good website to use for theory and such is http://www.studybass.com/. Once you get your head round it all its pretty easy and will really help, especially when creating basslines/chord progressions/etc
But for a quick fix, instead of going G blues to A blues, try going G mixolidian (the major scale with a flattened 7th) then A blues (or preferably just A minor or A minor pent., but blues should sound pretty good anyway)

Wow! You guys must be really good right now! Thanks for the tips, Dropthelines585 and SuperMaximo93! I'm going to check that site out and be a better bassist! I will also try experimenting with higher and lower octaves after the G scales and work myself to A scale. I still gotta research what G mixolidian is. I'll try to learn it both ways if I can. haha
This forum is great! I get replies in an instant.
