Grate stuff. I love Bass Chords a lot. When I was playing in Church a few years ago, I would do this during rehearsals. If someone was getting stuck on a certain passage of a song and if even the worship leader was getting a bit confused at times, I would chime and play chords on the bass on that part of the passage and the cool things, is that it would suddenly click for everyone. Even the worship leader loved it. It also helps to learn to play melodies on bass. That can come in handy during rehearsals as well. And playing chords and melodies on bass is just absolutely fun to do during practice. And it helps both of your hands become more flexible overtime.

When learning a complex bass line, like a James Jameson line, I record the chords onto a looper, to create my own backing track. Helps me to keep rhythm, tempo and position and relate the melodic line to the chord changes.

Is your bass intonated correctly? Seems like I could hear some weirdness with some of this chords. Or am I just hearing the results of equal temper tuning? I work on these with fretless and that is a challenge to get all the notes to sound good together. I remember Guthrie Govan explaining his fretless Vigier… he called playing chords on fretless “soul destroying”
