Standard Notation Jig: This tool comes from page 8 of the Complete 4-String Bass Edition. You can use it to see how the notes of a 4-String Bass match up with the notes of a piano. You can use it to see which notes are in the same octave on different strings (any notes that have the same colored background). If you're interested in using sheet music to play a melody, you can also use it to see where the notes on a treble clef are found all over the fretboard.
4-String Bass CAGED Jig (NEW): This tool shows how to use the shapes of C Major, A Major, G Major, E Major, and D Major chords to play G Major chords all the way up the fretboard using the Essential 4-String Bass Edition's Key of G Major page.
These same patterns can be used for ALL THE MAJOR CHORDS!

4-String Bass CAGED Jig: This tool shows how you can use the shapes of C Major, A Major, G Major, E Major, and D Major chords to play a G Major chord all the way up the fretboard. I've redone my CAGED Jig, which you can download above. I'm just leaving this one up because it's the one I used on an earlier video.
Free 4-String Bass Chord Builder (in color): Click the image to the left to download this ten-page, interactive (hyperlinked) tool. It overlays colored circles over the Complete 4-String Bass Edition's Key of G Major/E minor page, so you can see how each of the six main chords in G Major are built all up and down the fretboard. Each of the six chords has it's own page, showing all the locations of the notes that make each chord. There's also page that shows, all at once, where the notes from the 3 main Major chords (the I, IV, and V chords) are found all over the fretboard. There's a page showing the three minor chords (ii, iii, and vi) simultaneously as well.
