Chord-tone map for upright bass — one card per tone (root, 3rd, 5th, plus ♭7 for dominant chords). Each diagram shows every position of that note in first position across all four strings.
Diatonic 6ths walk up strings 1 + 3. Slide between these positions — 2-fret forward slants for the major 6ths, 1-fret forward for the minor 6ths — to play the scale in harmonized doubles.
