Fretboard Patterns

[Little Big Man]

Hi all. I need help regarding fretboard patters I am trying to learn> For example.. root & 5th pattern is take the root, move over 1 string and up two fretts.

I'm looking for patterns to the diminished, augmented triads?

Here is a poster that I made with some patterns:

A little unsoliticed advice you'll thank me for...you will go a lot farther with chords if you learn the formulas for forming each chord and figure out where the notes are yourself. Patterns can only take you so far...there will come a time when you're not going to easily play your pattern and you won't know where to go. But if you know how the chords are formed and what each note in the chord is, you'll eventually learn where every note is without needing to use patterns. Won't take much longer than memorizing a bunch of patterns, either.

sounds like good advice

just work them out.. learn what a diminished triad is, and that'll tell you the intervallic distance between each note... then find them on your bass

I'm not deliberately being unhelpful by saying 'work em out', but they're not hard, and you'll learn a lot by discovering them for yourself

there's nothing wrong with relating sounds to finger patterns, and i'm sure JimmyM wasn't saying not to learn the patterns that form particular triads... of course it'd be impossible to play a fretted instrument and not have it register that for example a major triad could be played in certain ways and that they form certain shapes under your fingers... it's just you have to go beyond knowing where to put your fingers and get to the point where your fingers go to certain places because 'that's where the note you're hearing in your head is located', not because you're wiggling your fingers around 'appropriate' patterns

any bass player who tries to tell you they don't think in patterns at all, to any extent whatsoever, is trying to make out they're something they're not
