Not to sound uppity about it, but it is important to learn an instrument properly. In this case, the left thumb should be centered on the neck with the fingertips curved. One of the best doublebass methods is the Simandl method.

I am looking for a double bass at the moment, though I don't know what type to go for. I am thinking about a cheap one, and, although I'd be a beginner, I'm not looking for any that have tape on the fret, cause I want to be able to suss things out for myself. Can you help with that?

wow,
I play violin, viola and cello.
the notes are very distants on the doublebass´ fingerboard.

@maanderx If that works well for you, then keep doing it. Generally, people get the "feel" for where to go with time and practice.

Where did the f-holes go?

@RareAirSupply They are there, but you just can't see them in the video because they are just below the where the camera cuts off.

You realize that's only saying what the major chord is. There are so many variants on each chord, that this is only really helpful if playing a Samba pattern or Bluegrass.

@ellis12241 My title specifies beginning and major chords. What we are showing is beginning bluegrass bass. This is for someone who has never played before. Yes, you are right, there are lots of variants on chords. In my opinion, a beginner needs to know where to start rather than how to do something several different ways.

Nice video, but those aren't chords exactly...it's a bass part you could play over a certain chord, but not a complete chord. Missing the 3rd.

@Zombbg4 Yes, technically speaking we are only playing the 1st & 5th, but that is standard chording for beginning bluegrass bass. On a more advanced level, folks can learn to do more complex chording and run patterns.
