Summary of This Method
More and more bassists seek to master chords to move beyond a purely rhythmic role and bring a true harmonic color to their playing. This method was designed to meet that need: it guides you step by step, from the essential foundations (intervals, chord structure, harmonic logic) to practical application on the instrument. The goal is twofold: to understand chords solidly, then to integrate them naturally into real musical situations.
You will cover the main 3-note and 4-note chords, with an approach tailored for the bass, regardless of your setup (4, 5, or 6 strings). The work is not limited to "placing shapes": the book emphasizes understanding, to easily transpose into various keys and choose inversions suited to the bass register. You will also learn a right-hand arpeggio technique inspired by guitarists, ideal for adding depth to chord playing and achieving a smoother, more singing, and better-articulated sound.
Each chord family is associated with musical application work: you thus move from theory to actual playing, developing precision, cleanliness, and musicality. The recordings on the included CD allow you to work on timing, voice balance, and consistency, while helping you validate your sound and placement. An ideal resource for progressing in bass chords, enriching your grooves, and opening the door to accompaniment as well as solo playing.
