Hey mike, Just one quick question. How do u know which bass notes (Other then the obvious root notes) can be played with what guitar chords. Is there an easy way to figure this out, or maybe a website that tells you. Thanks Josh
Josh, you need to learn how to play the arpeggios (notes of a chord, played one at a time) of each kind of chord (major, minor, augmented, diminished as well as all the 7th chords). There are just a few types of chords. For three note chords (triads) there are 4 basic chords: major, minor, diminshed and augmented (as well as some minor chords (sus) For 7th chords (4 note chords) you have a few more: Major 7, Minor 7, Dominant 7, Diminshed 7, half diminshed 7, Sus 7, Augemented 7. Each chord is built in intervals of thirds. Different combination of major third and minor third intervals create the chords. Becuase 7th chords have more notes, they have more chord choices. Any basic Bass book will have this info. Check out www.bassbooks.com for some great info Mike
