G Aeolian — Bass VI

The G Aeolian scale runs 7 notes per octave in the modes family. Below it sits on the Bass VI's EADGBE strings with every root marked, because a bassist reads a scale map as a set of targets around the root, not a row of dots.

The standard natural minor scale — melancholic, introspective, and deeply emotive. The most common minor sound in Western music.

Heard in: Pop, rock, classical, metal — the default minor sound of Western music.

Because the Bass VI carries guitar tuning an octave down, these patterns are guitar geometry with bass consequences — watch the G-to-B string crossing, where the shape bends by one fret.

Walk it slowly against the audio, land each root on a downbeat, then take it to the progressions in G and let the scale turn into lines.
