Drop 2 Voicing

Hi,

Want to find more ways to play chords on bass?

Let's try out the drop 2 voicing.

The interval of a major chord is - 1 3 5 7

For drop 2 voicing it will be - 5 1 3 7

So if we are looking at a Cmaj7 chord - C E G B

The drop 2 degree will be - G C E B

This is slightly different from the 2nd inversion - 5 7 1 3 (G B C E)

Hope this helps.

cheers

Playing Chords on Bass (3 positions)

Hi,

We know that a basic chord is formed by 1 3 5.

For example, the notes in an A chord will be A (1) C# (3) E (5).

I have tabbed out three different positions of an A chord.

Some of you will know them as inversions.







Remember the shape and shift it around to play other chords.

Hope this is clear.

Have fun.
