Bill Harrison, a double bass instructor out of Chicago, has produced instructional videos on chord formations (major, minor, 7ths and triads), rotating through all 12 notes. The videos are available on YouTube. Mr. Harrison uses open strings to build his chords whilst the TMBG "Chord Notes For Bass Guitar" suggests fretted notes exclusively.
Regardless of technique, the notes are all the same...but is there an advantage to studying (using) one chord formation technique over another? For fretless players there is the intonation advantage of using open strings, but other than that, what's your (TR's) opinion of learning one over the other...or both?
Thank you,
Greg
