    Here's a video on the most common Bass Guitar Chords from Beginner to Advanced.
    I have limited space for 1-2-1 Lessons here: tom-johns.co.uk/
    0:00 Intro
    0:07 2 Note Chords
    0:52 3 Note Chords
    2:20 Power Chords
    3:21 7 Note Chords
    3:49 Sweep Arpeggios
    Corrections : With the Sweep Arpeggio TAB around 3:44, it is labelled at G9 when it should be Gm9.
    For people who care about those kind of things, I had to re record parts of the lower body shot as I couldnt talk and play at the same time as well as I would have liked to. This meant the original shot was a bit out of sync with the drum beat.
    Hope you find it helpful. Printable TABs are on my Patreon / guitartomguitar

    I can't believe this doesn't have more views! I played bass growing up and then stopped for like 5+ years. I'm just getting back into it, and your videos have been extremely helpful in getting my bass knowledge back up to snuff. Thank you!

      Thanks I really appreciate those kind words. Hope you're enjoying getting back into the bass.

      I believe that it seems to be a good idea to learn all this. My problem seems to be that I rather listen to these chords being played with the hands positions and sequences. Maybe my intellectual capacities are limited but still appreciate this approach. I guess I’ll practice these alternatives.

    What's your favourite track with Bass Guitar Chords? I'll get you started, Circles by Mac Miller (which uses 3 note chords) and Meet Me At the Corner by RHCP (which uses 2 note chords). I'm making a list in the video description, so let me know any tracks you know which have killer bass chords.

    At 1 minute and 17 seconds your pointer finger is on the 15 fret E string you're middle finger on the 16th Fred G and your 3rd finger on the 17th Fred D but the diagram shows for major chord on 15th fret E string and 15th fret g and 16th fret D

    • @cutbyoccam1948
      @cutbyoccam1948 Рік тому +1

      Yeah, I noticed that his chord diagrams for 3 note chords is wrong (major chords only).
      When he starts playing the chord progressions, @1:36 the frets shown on the bottom of the screen are correct.

    Some of this playing reminds me of that bassist from Kajagoogoo.

  • @pabloserranomusic
    @pabloserranomusic 6 місяців тому +2

    time on video is 1:16 the Shape is for a minor chord not major. I'm watching this video to learn chords but this is confusing. G major has a B not a Bb

    full begginer question here: is it 100% necessary to press the string right before the fret? or can i still press halfway? I---/---I

    • @lznoswt
      @lznoswt Рік тому +1

      you'll notice that the farther up (towards the middle) you press the fret, the likelier it is for you to get a buzzing from the string hitting the fret, or the note will not sound as full, or buzzy. You can get away with pressing the string in the middle of the fret IF it sounds good, and usually more towards the bridge

    Bass should be placed between legs, not on right leg

    • @therealbaglady
      @therealbaglady 10 місяців тому

      Place your bass between your legs if that feels right for you. Others will place their bass wherever as long as they feel right about their bass. We're not making mass produced cookies here.

    I don’t really think Thunder Cat is any good he’s a very messy player all show and no feel.
