You get a chord chart or lyric sheet put in front of you with a bunch of chord symbols over it, but if you’ve never come across them before, what the hell are you supposed to play?
This is basically what happened to me the first time I saw a ‘real’ jazz chord chart, and to be honest, it scared the hell out of me! There were triangles, circles, plus and minus signs, then all the numbers. As someone who usually learned by ear, it was overwhelmingly confusing.
When you’re just starting out, the whole world of chords can be pretty intimidating. There’s tons of lingo and markings that might be brand new - it’s like a whole new language.
In this lesson though, you’re going to learn exactly what to pay attention to as a bass player when it comes to chord symbols. More importantly though, you’ll learn what you can safely ignore. (Hint: It’s probably more than you think)
By the way, it’s going to be a bit tricky to actually apply the lessons from this video if you don’t know what all the notes on your fretboard are.
If that sounds like you though, don’t worry. In my Ultimate Guide To Learning Your Fretboard For Bass, you’ll get a system for deeply understanding your fretboard so you can quickly learn where all your notes are and make sure it sticks. That way, you’ll never get lost on your fretboard again.

And sign up for it underneath the video. You can get started mastering your fretboard today.
In the next 2 parts of this series, were going to go beyond the basics and give you tons more note options when it comes to creating bass lines, riffs, licks and fills from chord symbols. There’s much more to it than the simple ideas in this video and I’m excited to share them with you.
As always, if you have questions or comments, just leave them down below and I’ll try my best to help out!
Good luck with the chord symbols and happy playing!
Cheers,
Luke
