So here's the [Ab] basic shout bass line which will be playing in E.
I think you'll find this played in E flat, but we're going for E this time around.
little finger on E on [B]
the 1, 2, 3, 3rd string.
And this is the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [E] 6, 7th fret.
There's our starting note.
Then we're going to go down with our 1st finger on the 4th fret.
And from there we're going to walk up and play each finger [A] on [Bbm]
I think you'll find this played in E flat, but we're going for E this time around.

So here's the [Ab] basic _ shout bass line which will be playing in E.
_ _ _ _ Most [F] places I think you'll find this played in E flat, but we're going for E this time around.
[B] So we're [E] starting with our _ little finger on E _ on [B]
the 1, 2, 3, 3rd string. _ _ _
And this is the _ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [E] 6, 7th fret. _ _
There's our starting note. _ _ _ _ _
Then we're going to go down with our 1st finger on the 4th fret.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
And from there we're going to walk up and play each finger _ [A] on _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[B] the 4th string.
_ Then we're going to scoot over to the 3rd string _ and walk up again.
[Db]
1st, _ [D] 2nd, _ [Eb] 3rd, [E]
4th fingers and we're back to where we started. _ _ _
_ [Em] So that sounds like [E] this. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Db] _
_ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _
_ It's a good exercise _ for just using all your fingers and also for alternating your picking [Eb] fingers. _ _ _
So if you look over here, I'm just _ [E] _
going_
[Ab] _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] and _ once you get that under your fingers, we'll be playing it [Gbm] a lot [Db] faster.
Something _ like this here.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ And kind of what I was doing there toward the [Db] end, _ [E] here's your E note.
That's your _ home base for this particular sequence.
[Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You've got your octave right there. _ _ _
E, _ _ E.
So you can start your [Bbm] pattern _ _ [E] up here as well.
_ [Bbm] _ [D] _ _ _ [E] So you've got these _ _ series of 4 frets on _ _ these 2 strings.
[Gb] And also up here, same notes.
[Ab] _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ [B] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [E] _ So if you string them all together, you could [Ab] go_
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [D] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Anyway, that is your [F] basic shout fingering.
_ Work on that and we'll see where it gets you.
Let's just look at what we're doing here, theory-wise.
_ _ [E] _ We're in E.
Here's our E major scale.
_ _ _ E, [Gb]
F sharp, [Ab] G sharp, _ _ _
[A] A, [B] B, [Db] C sharp, [Ebm]
D sharp, _ [E] and E again.
1, [Gbm] 2, [A] 3, 4, [Db] 5, 6, [E] 7, 1.
_ _ [B] So in this shout sequence, this pattern, we're [E] playing our root note, and then we're [Ab] jumping to the 3rd right there, the major [Ab] 3rd.
_ From there we're going to [A] the 4, _ [Bbm] flat 5, _ [B]
5, _ [Db] 6, [Dm] flat 7, [Eb] 7, _ [Em] _ and the root, the 1. _ _
So we're basically [B] outlining an E major _ [E] chord, or E _ dominant. _ _
_ [B] It's got all those passing [E] tones in there. _
_ [A] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Em] _ [E] And how we're playing it is we're starting on the root, and we're dropping [Ab] down to that 3rd. _ _
_ _ _ Here's our octave once again.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] _ Same notes, just a little bit lower in pitch.
_ So _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
that's what we're doing.
[D] Just playing a chord, E.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Most [F] places I think you'll find this played in E flat, but we're going for E this time around.
[B] So we're [E] starting with our _ little finger on E _ on [B]
the 1, 2, 3, 3rd string. _ _ _
And this is the _ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [E] 6, 7th fret. _ _
There's our starting note. _ _ _ _ _
Then we're going to go down with our 1st finger on the 4th fret.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
And from there we're going to walk up and play each finger _ [A] on _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[B] the 4th string.
_ Then we're going to scoot over to the 3rd string _ and walk up again.
[Db]
1st, _ [D] 2nd, _ [Eb] 3rd, [E]
4th fingers and we're back to where we started. _ _ _
_ [Em] So that sounds like [E] this. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Db] _
_ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _
_ It's a good exercise _ for just using all your fingers and also for alternating your picking [Eb] fingers. _ _ _
So if you look over here, I'm just _ [E] _
going_
[Ab] _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] and _ once you get that under your fingers, we'll be playing it [Gbm] a lot [Db] faster.
Something _ like this here.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ And kind of what I was doing there toward the [Db] end, _ [E] here's your E note.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Bbm] _ [D] _ _ _ [E] So you've got these _ _ series of 4 frets on _ _ these 2 strings.
[Gb] And also up here, same notes.
[Ab] _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ [B] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Eb] _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _

_ _ Anyway, that is your [F] basic shout fingering.

Let's just look at what we're doing here, theory-wise.
_ _ [E] _ We're in E.
Here's our E major scale.
_ _ _ E, [Gb]
F sharp, [Ab] G sharp, _ _ _
[A] A, [B] B, [Db] C sharp, [Ebm]
D sharp, _ [E] and E again.
1, [Gbm] 2, [A] 3, 4, [Db] 5, 6, [E] 7, 1.
_ _ [B] So in this shout sequence, this pattern, we're [E] playing our root note, and then we're [Ab] jumping to the 3rd right there, the major [Ab] 3rd.

_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
that's what we're doing.
[D] Just playing a chord, E.
