| Description: | This tutorial was inspired by many questions from subscribers about bass notes. Most of my technique lessons (fingerpicking, blues, Celtic, Christmas, strumming) refer to the Bass Note as an essential part of the technique. This tutorial gives a thorough explanantion of what a bass note is, how to figure out which one to use for each chord, and why it's important to right hand techniques and a variety of guitar styles. It also demystifies the "Chord with a Slash", which appears in some guitar sheet music. | ||||||
