Major triad is made up of root, 3rd, and 5th of a chord. No tension or anything, they fit just perfectly! How to Play a Major Triad on Bass It is unlikely that any of these species would survive in the seasonal. Those 3 notes from which chords a built are the strongest notes you can choose to play on bass in order to outline the sound of a chord.Īny of those notes will perfectly blend with the sound of the chord played on another instrument. There are different types of triads just like there are different types of chords (major, minor, etc). Triads are 3 note chords and they are created by stacking thirds (look up ‘intervals in music’). But, as a bass player, the best notes you can choose that surely work 100% over those chords is to simply play chord tones yourself (just don’t strum them all at the same time). A guitarist or keyboard player would play these notes simultaneously to form a chord. These are the actual notes that the chords are built with, but are broken down, so that you can play them as individual notes on the bass. When the two notes match perfectly, the pulsation stops and the two notes sound, as one.You’ll be playing chord tones. You should learn Another One because if you learn how to play Under Pressure your friends would probably confiscate your bass from you. As you tune the string, the pitches get closer and the pulsation slows. This is easily one of the most recognizable bass lines in recent music history. If your string is slightly out of tune, you will hear a pulsating sound between the two notes. Click the string you want to tune, and play the corresponding string on your bass guitar so the two notes sound together. Or, click the "Tuner" button above to activate the manual tuner.
