Bass Week: As bass players we naturally have to know our chords, and ideally a fair bit about harmony and chord progressions ...

Sus chords nearly always sound good when played before a major or minor chord that uses the same root note, Bsus4 to B, or Asus4 to A ... the D7 shape four frets higher to create a Bm7 and F#7 ...

In G major, starting on G, we get G, B and D to make a G Major chord ... to enhance their chord progressions. You may be familiar with a little number called Hey Jude from some English band?
