This is how to play an A-flat minor or a G-sharp minor triad on electric bass. I'm going to
talk about it in terms of A-flat minor. The 3 notes that are going to be in our triad
are A-flat, B (which is our minor third), and E-flat (which is our fifth). In this case
A-flat is our root and we're going to start by finding it at the 4th fret on the E-string.
Our minor third is B; the 2nd fret of the A-string. And our fifth is E-flat; 1st fret
on the D-string. Now we can find our other A-flat at sixth fret on the D-string. To go
into our 2nd octave we play B, the 9th fret, we play E-flat on the 8th fret of the G-string,
and we can go up to our 13th fret for A-flat. So here is the 2 octave A-flat minor triad.
So that's the A-flat minor or G-sharp minor triad on the electric bass.
