Chord Voicings for the Extended Range Bass
By Denson Angulo

"Hey everyone. Here are some basic chord voicings that are very useable on the 7 (and beyond) string bass. They are simple voicings that are labeled based on the basic function (for example a 13th chord has the bare minimum tones required to give the chord it's form) so a 6th chord could be a 13th etc. These are just a few chords available on an ERB. I've included TAB so you can see the shape of the chords on the fingerboard. I have, however, not included how to finger them. I'll leave that up to you. I barre some, do strange fingerings...do whatever works. These shapes are movable so have fun!!
