| If you are looking for charts, diagram and pictures of chords on the bass then you are not really learning them. Simply putting your fingers where the dots are does not give the insight into what makes up a particular chord; its' function, construction, or usefullness. Start by learning scales and thinking of them in their intervallic realtionships. Basic triads are constructed from the 1st third and fifth tones of a scale. Extensions (7ths, 9ths 11ths, 13ths etc) are added using those intervals of scale. Find the notes of a given chord on the fingerboard. Discover ways of inverting them. Explore and find voicings and fingerings which work. In doing so you wil also discover the a deeper sense of understanding how music is constructed. You will actually begin to learn how harmony operates (which will give you a much deeper understanding what the other instruments are doing when you are playing a more "conventional" bass role). Just copying some given finger diagrams may give gve you a clever trick or two to use, but how you use of it will remain shallow, and it will in no way aid you in the larger quest of being a better musician. In learning music there are no shortcuts, and there is world of difference between someone who plays a musical instrument (even with a great degree of skill) and a musician. When playing chords on the bass (and btw, I use A LOT of chords in my playing...and at one time was writing a book about using chords on bass...and had charted out over 750 voicings which I use...), a lot of the extensions are implied. Due to the sonic and timbral nature of the instrument, some intervals can be omitted and the voicing can still imply a deeper harmonic structure. There are a lot of chord voicings available, and many ways to approach them...I can think of at least a dozen different ways I play a simple A major chord. Work it out and learn how to do it.Max
