Understanding How to Build Chords on Bass
Welcome to another lesson from the Bass Theory Simplified series! In this video, we’ll explore the fundamentals of building chords on bass. While bass players primarily focus on single notes and rhythm, understanding how to construct chords can add a new dimension to your playing, allowing you to create richer harmonies and more dynamic lines.

What Are Chords?
A chord is a combination of two or more notes played together. Typically, chords are built by stacking intervals of thirds, which creates triads (three-note chords) or extended chords (four or more notes). In this lesson, we’ll walk through how to build major, minor, diminished, and augmented chords on the bass, as well as explore more advanced chord voicings.

Fretboard Layout
We’ll guide you through the process of identifying chord shapes on the bass. You’ll learn how to find the root, third, and fifth of each chord, and how to apply these shapes across different positions on the fretboard. We’ll also show you how to modify these shapes to create various chord types, making it easier to move between different chords seamlessly.

Practical Applications
While bassists don’t typically strum chords like guitarists, knowing how to build chords will help you in many ways. It allows you to outline harmony, play chordal riffs, and even enhance your soloing and improvisation. Understanding chords also helps when working with other musicians, as it gives you a better grasp of harmonic structure and progressions.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll know how to build and play chords on the bass, giving you the tools to add harmonic depth and creativity to your playing.
