The harmonic minor scale is a minor scale with a major 7th (1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7). This creates a 3 half-step gap between the minor 6th and major 7th, resulting in a dark, exotic sound.
G major scale: (Bottom octave) G - 4 A - 2 B - 7 C - 6 D - 4 E - 2 F# - 5 G - 4 (Next Octave) G - 4 A - 2 B - 4 C - 3 D - 1 E - 2 F# - 3* G - 2* *Cheat in closer to 1st position than usual.

Starting with an open string, count your way up 12 frets; 0-1-2-3... On the twelfth fret is the octave of the open string.

To determine what the seventh note (leading note) is in a minor scale, you need to determine which minor scale you are playing. The seventh note of a natural minor scale, you take the note which is a whole tone (2 notes) below your tonic (the note which is the name of your scale). Example: In A natural minor scale the leading note is G. The seventh note of a harmonic minor scale is a semitone (1 note) below your tonic note. Ex: In E harmonic minor scale, the leading note is D sharp. The seventh note of a melodic minor scale (ascending) will be a semitone below your tonic note, like your harmonic minor scale. Descending the melodic minor scale reverts to its natural state, therefore your seventh note will be a whole tone below your tonic.
Here's a basic 3- to 4-month plan: 1) the names of the strings 2) the names of the parts of the bass 3) good basic technique 4) scales (e.g. all major scales one octave, then minor scales one octave) 5) all the names of the notes on the first five frets on each string 6) the pentatonic scale 7) how to read sheet music (reading tabs not recommended) 8) chromatic scale and whole tone scale 9) All the modes in all keys 10) Arpeggios (major, dominant, minor, diminished, half-diminished) 11) 12 bar blues progression 12) walking basslines on a 12 bar blues progression All the while listen to your favorite basslines and try to play along with them.

G major scale: (Bottom octave) G - 4 A - 2 B - 7 C - 6 D - 4 E - 2 F# - 5 G - 4 (Next Octave) G - 4 A - 2 B - 4 C - 3 D - 1 E - 2 F# - 3* G - 2* *Cheat in closer to 1st position than usual.

The "white keys" beginning with A will play an A-minor scale: A-B-C-D-E-F-G-A. The intervals between the notes (in terms of semitones) is: A(2)B(1)C(2)D(2)E(1)F(2)G(2)A You can use the same intervals to get the minor scale in other keys. For example, C-minor is: C-D-Eflat-F-G-Aflat-Bflat-C.
G major scale: (Bottom octave) G - 4 A - 2 B - 7 C - 6 D - 4 E - 2 F# - 5 G - 4 (Next Octave) G - 4 A - 2 B - 4 C - 3 D - 1 E - 2 F# - 3* G - 2* *Cheat in closer to 1st position than usual.
