Another popular bass note technique is the adding of a bass note to a chord. An example of this is shown with the next chord progression. Adding the C# bass note (fifth string) to the D chord creates the D/C# chord (D with a C# bass). Adding the B bass note (fifth string) to the C chord creates the D/B chord (D with a B bass). In bar 6 an extra bass note is added to the G chord (G/F#). Study the previous diagrams and then try the following example, which has a descending moving bass line.
An Am/G and an Am/F# is used in the next example.
