G Dorian Bebop — Bass VI

The G Dorian Bebop scale runs 8 notes per octave in the bebop 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.

Dorian with a chromatic passing tone slipped between the b3 and the 4 — eight notes, so chord tones keep landing on the strong beats in a run of eighth notes. Cool, flowing, and swinging.

Heard in: Bebop and straight-ahead jazz lines over minor seventh chords — Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and the Barry Harris approach.

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.
