Chords on the Bass

Make sure to download the worksheets below!  Chords are a phenomenal way to map out harmonic shapes on your fretboard (and they sound cool, too).  Internalizing chord shapes and relationships not only gives you an interesting sonic palette from which to draw from, but it also gives you a quick skeletal structure of harmony which you can make use of in your bass lines, solos, licks….   Studying chords on your instrument helps with everything, whether or not you ever intend to actually play them on the gig.
