The Dragon Approaches

Hero, you have come far and the journey has been hard.  You have done well.  I have no doubt that you are the chosen one who will soon free us from the dragon. 

You have only one more Gem of Mastery to collect before the final showdown.  To obtain it, you must master the ancient art of the Bb Scale.  Learn it well and it will help you in times of trouble!

  • Below are all the notes you will need to defeat the dragon.  The name of the note and its slide position are marked under each note. 
  • All of these notes, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G, A, and high Bb, make up the Bb scale.
  • Scales are like the ingredients of a song.  If you know the scale that a song uses, it will be much easier to play that song.
