If you've heard the words, 'chord tones' and wondered what they are, why they are important, or even how to use them, then read on...

 

Chord tones are very important to us bass players as they are the essential notes of the chord, that we can use to outline and establish the harmony for the rest of the band.

 

These are our building blocks, and you need to know what they are, and how to use them if you want to start creating and improvising your own bass lines.

 

Chord tones really are very simple to use, once you know how, of course! So I've put together a short lesson explaining chord tones in a way that is very easy to understand.

 

I’ve put the link to a handy free PDF under the video and this containing the fret diagrams from the lesson and a bass cheatsheet.
