Vertical
scale charts
Scale charts are sometimes written in a vertical format. The
chart is just a picture of the neck of the bass if it was standing
up, neck in the air. You would still just play the notes from
the lowest sounding to the highest and back down. If you are familiar
with guitar, this is the same way that chord
charts are written.
