1st, 3rd and 5th …
1st, 3rd and 5th combo is the way to build major chords. This is a combination that will always sound well IN ANY INSTRUMENT. so.. ACE BDF CEG DFA EGB FAC GBD. make up the major arpeggio and you can play it any place where you find a root note. (not to neglect minor chords and modes) This is also the basic way to follow most songs. If it sounds good you’re doing it right. If you want to play bass = technique and perfect practice. The guy wasn’t wrong btw, there are a few ways to play this chord

it all depends on …
it all depends on what type of music you wanna end up playing, some genres make heavy use of bass chords but I think any serious musician should learn whatever they can about their instrument and try their best to master it, before I got started playing guitar I wanted to exclusively do metal covers, now I’ll play ANYTHING, even parody country songs made on the spot lol, it’s that fun.
i disagree …
i disagree completely. I’m always using chords as a bass player. Maybe not as a guitar player or piano player would, but I definitely throw some in there from time to time, and depending on your voicing and timing, it can sound amazing.

so every chord on bass has a root note a 3rd and 5th?

although u probably wouldnt play it, it is still important for a bass player to understand chord structures as much as a guitar player does

yer tottaly right, chords always sound too muddy on bass. the bass guitar is always supposed to lay down that strong root note that the guitar or whatever may sound a little unclear on

The only reason I can think of is the “muddy” sound it gives, which is nowhere near as harmonically pleasing as it is one octave higher…

Wait… so why couldn’t he just hit an open G string instead of moving down to the 12th fret?
Fair enough, but …
Fair enough, but most people don’t have a clue when it comes to music theory though (even the absolute simplest of things are a mystery to some :S), and changing the term because of that is only going to keep this trend going on – not that it’s going to help much otherwise, but I’m sure you see what I mean.
technically, yes, …
technically, yes, however in most cases i have seen, people refer chords to being most strings being used. triads are much more specific to what he is doing, and he should have therefore described what he was doing, making it easier for those than dont already understand
Don’t be retarded. …
Don’t be retarded. If you’re going to say something, do yourself a favour and ensure it’s correct first. A chord is three or more notes played simultaneously. A triad is merely a type or chord, not a different thing entirely.

silly answers for a silly video
And since a triad …
And since a triad is a type of chord, he just described a chord… No need for redundency.
