C MAJ.& BLUES SCALE BASS TRIADS
TUNING: OPTIONAL
TABBED BY: *—JESSICA—*

Triads are the chords of bass, they go into a lot of theory but 
are just fun to play if your not really into theory.  Triads are 
the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of a scale, in this case the C major scale 
and the blues scale.  To play triads doesnt require fingering 
or strumming, it is just individual fingers on each note, I use 
my pointer and middle fingers because its easier for me, but 
feel free to experiment with triads, they are fun and If you have 
any questions ask your bass teacher or e—mail me.
