This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been wanting to learn bass chords to improve my playing and expand my knowledge. I have seen books that have chords with scales and a ton of writing for a lot more. This is just chords, no description for every chord, save the name. And it fits perfectly in both my hard case and gig bag.
Explore a greater range of bass playing. Play everyday. Learn melody lines too. Playing with chord shapes expands your musical abilities.
I picked this up at Guitar Center while I was there buying pics. I'm a bassist, but also play a Bass Tuned Baritone Ukulele. This is a great guide for anyone looking to play chords, not only on the Bass but also on Bass tuned instruments. Easy to use, with hundreds of chord forms!One thing to note, most of the chords are in the 12 to 19 fret range. If you want to play the chords on lower frets, simply subtract 12 and play them in the low end! They will sound very muddy on a Bass, but on my Ukulele they sound amazing.All in all I recommend this guide for anyone looking to play chords on the Bass. Hands down one of the best references out there for the subject.
