Shape of E Major Triad on Bass Guitar
Important
This is an E major triad from or in E major scale.
The above is the shape of a major (refer to 20240901171406-Musical_Intervals) triad with E natural as chord root, i.e. am E (natural) Major triad / chord in the E Major scale, on a bass guitar. More specifically this is on the fretboard of the neck of a 4-string bass guitar, where the leftmost is the topmost part of the bass #neck (i.e., the lowest pitch string) and the rightmost is the bottom part of the bass neck (i.e., the highest-pitched string) (refer to 20241215165631-Composite_Chordophone_Hardware_Components). It is read from top to bottom, left to right. The #dots signify where #fingers would be placed. The E Major triad corresponds to the order of the dots, as is apparent when mapped to the notes on the fretboard. The vertical numbers on the left indicate the fret number (count starts from the #headstock of the bass guitar onwards).
This major triad can be transposed by simply shifting the appropriate shape around the fretboard, i.e. by altering the root key or note that determines the subsequent comprising notes or keys.
