Once you know how to find the roots of chords, you can be pretty dangerous - maybe even make it through an entire gig on bass! But if you really want to start making cool bass lines, riffs, fills and licks, then you’re going to need to get beyond using just the root.
After all, using just one note over a chord can be kind of limiting, right? Really great bass lines that just use one note for every chord do exist, but they are the exception rather than the rule.
But if you’re looking at a chord chart or lyric sheet and you don’t know how all these chords are made, it will be really difficult to make something that you can be proud of.
Luckily, pretty much every chord symbol - even the most complicated ones - can be condensed into just 3 notes, also called a triad. If you know your triads and how they’re put together, then you can start making some great bass lines.
In part 2 of this chord series, you’ll:
→ Discover the 4 main types of triads (you’ve definitely heard the first 2 before)
→ Learn how they’re made and how they’re played - you have options for all of them
→ Get classic example of triad-based lines, one of them even uses just 2 notes per chord!
If I’m going too fast in the video, or you’d rather have everything in written form so you can refer to it over and over again, make sure to download my Chord Cheat Sheet Pack. You’ll get all the key takeaways from this series in a single PDF file. You’ll get:
→ All the shapes for all the chords in this lesson
→ A handy chart showing you exactly what notes are in every chord
→ A scale catalogue you can use to make sure you’re always playing the right scales with the right chords
It’s 100% free and to get it, just go here:

Fill out the form on that page and I’ll send it straight to you. Once you know all the information in the pack, you’ll never be stumped by a chord symbol ever again.
As always, if you have questions, just leave them below and I’ll be sure to help you out. In the final part of this series, we’re going to go beyond the triads and show you the more advanced chord types, how they’re constructed and what you can play over them.
Good luck with the lesson and happy playing!
Cheers,
Luke

Hey Luke, Awesome lesson. Not 100% sure but i think Steve Harris has used Augmented triads
i'm a beginner so i appreciate these vids :)
Awesome to hear @Jonah Simpson - thanks for watching.
The slow middle part of iron maiden's rhyme of the ancient mariner features augmented chords on the bass.
For real? I’m going to have to check that one out. Thanks for letting me know!

This is a great example of augmented chords spelled out super clearly on bass - thanks so much for showing me this!
Dog tail stole the lesson :P great vid for a beginner like me!
Haha! Pup commands way more attention than I do
Hi Luke, great lesson - you'll find augmented triads in "Raining in my heart" - Buddy Holly or "Don't throw your love away" - The Searchers. Both probably a bit too early for you, but good examples.

I'm only just starting bass. Is the root note always the number 1 in the diagrams?
Hey @FrankieMauro - the numbers are suggested fingerings for all the chord shapes. In this video, the root note is always A - 5th fret on the E-string
cliff burtons pulling teeth solo is an augmented chord I think.
Q: How about a lesson on counting off a song and where it begins, if that makes sense.
Hey @shooz4unme - what specifically are you struggling with? You’re not sure how to count off songs? What’s the situation you’re dealing with?
Luke from Become A Bassist Here it is: When a song is counted 3, 4 and the band starts playing. Or when the count begins 1,2,3,4 and the band plays. What does that do for a song?
