That's more notes than I use as a bass player ! LOL

Time to by a bus and hit the road.

Look at it this way, you can play slide and hit every note. This works for most songs, some just don't sound good.
Here are the notes.

G G# A A# B C C# D D# E F F#
If you are tunes to open G the first fret will be G#, the 2nd-A ... 3rd-A#. Get it?

What ever you are tuned to as an open chord the first fret will be the next note.
This kills on some stuff with a slide.

( this isn't really exact ... some of the chords will be 7th or 3rds but will be some form of the chord)

You can some of this in the group CBG Tabs

Naturally, AEA is not on the chart. Isn't that just the way it always is.

But:

D(open) G A Bmin F# E F(blues) G(blues)

A(open) D E Fmin C# B C(blues) D(blues)

Did I get that right?

Bless your heart Diane! I'm currently tuned in AEA, but the chord position won't change. Thanks a bunch. Sam

I just skip all the REAL how to stuff.I just throw it down on my lap, grab a slide and bang away. If it comes out sounding like a note that works, GREAT! If it dont, I just try not to hit that note again LOL
