Hi,
One of the most useful scales that help guitarists and bass players is the pentatonic scale.
We will look into the major pentatonic scale for now.
Major pentatonic scale consist of 5 notes from the major scale.
The notes in G major pentatonic scale are : G A B D E (a common fingering pattern).
You can play the melody of the song, Amazing Grace by using the G major pentatonic scale.
If you would like to play using harmonics, find out the melody first,follow by the harmonics on the bass frets and pluck near the bridge pick up(turn up the treble).
Have Fun.
