Bass For Baginners by Bass Lessons bass tab (text):First you need to be able to read tab and understand it. Tab is short for tablature. It’s easy once you get the hang of it. Here’s how standard tab is written: G|----------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------| Each line is a string on the bass neck. The letters at the beginning of the line are just the notes of the strings. Forget them for a moment and look at it like this: Thinnest |--------------------------------------| 2nd thinnest |--------------------------------------| 2nd thickest |--------------------------------------| Thickest |--------------------------------------| So basically, when you’re standing up with the bass round your neck with the strap on, the thickest string (E) is at the top and is usually the hardest to play. The thinnest string (G) is at the bottom and is the easiest to play. There is numbers written on the tab bar and these are the frets you play. Bass is usually played on one string and is very rarely played on more than one string. If there was a 0 on and line then you play and open string. In other words you don’t put your finger down on any fret. Frets are those funny metal lines on the neck of the bass. G|-0-----------0-----------0--------------------| D|---0-------0---0-------0----------------------| A|-----0---0-------0---0------------------------| E|-------0-----------0--------------------------| Practise that so you get the hang of playing the strings. With bass you can use a plectrum (pick) of you can use your fingers. Some people think it sounds better if you use your fingers but that’s just their opinion. If you don’t want to use your fingers then use a pick. Just see how fast you can play that, it might also help build up speed because at first it will be really hard to play fast. If there were a 1 on a line then you would put whatever finger felt more comfortable just in front of the first fret on the bass. If you put you finger on the fret then a buzzing sound might be made so you’ll need to be careful with that. G|-1-----------1-----------1----------------------| D|---1-------1---1-------1------------------------| A|-----1---1-------1---1--------------------------| E|-------1-----------1----------------------------| It’ not just numbers that appear on these lines though. X’s can appear on the lines. If you do find an X, then you rest your finger on string so it’s muted. You don’t press down on the string and it doesn’t matter where on the string you rest you finger. It would appear like this G|--X-----------X-----------X-----------------| D|----X-------X---X-------X-------------------| A|------X---X-------X---X---------------------| E|--------X-----------X-----------------------| Practise that and you’ll soon get the hang of muted notes. There’s also h’s and p’s. The meant Hammer on’s and Pull off’s. To do a hammer on, hold a finger of a fret and strike the note or play an open string, and then without striking again, you put a finger quickly on a fret. It’s difficult at first but so is everything. A pull off is where you put two fingers on different frets on the same string, and you strike the first not, and the, again without striking the second note, you pull your finger off, leaving the second finger that was on the lower fret on, and it should produce the same kind of sound as if you’ve just played that note. Practise and you’ll get the hang of it. G|-1h2---------------------1h2----------------| D|-----1h2-------------1h2--------------------| A|---------1h2-----1h2------------------------| E|-------------1h2----------------------------| Try playing that and building up your speed the play this: G|-2p1---------------------2p1------------------| D|-----2p1-------------2p1----------------------| A|---------2p1-----2p1--------------------------| E|-------------2p1------------------------------| Again practise, build up speed. It worked for me. There’s also harmonics. There’s many different signs for this though and everyone should tell you if they have used harmonics and what symbol they have used. I usually use a star (*). To produce a harmonic, place your finger over a fret and play (it works best with the frets 7, 9, 12 and 19). It should produce a bell kind of sound. If not then practise a bit more. Try playing these. G|-----------7*----------9*-------------12*-------------19*-| D|--------7*----------9*------------12*-------------19*-----| A|-----7*----------9*-----------12*-------------19*---------| E|--7*----------9*----------12*-------------19*-------------| That’s pretty much it.
