HOW TO READ BASS GUITAR SHEET MUSIC

[poycka]

How do you play, for example 4 diagonal dashes in common time with Ami7(b5) above the measure my guess is they're chords but I can't find any helpful things on the internet about bass chords

[Koolikoo]

help. what does x mean? it's in front of the notes like # exept its a fat little x, I'm not sure what it means..

[ConnorLeeWithSomeTea]

@Koolikoo i think it means slap the string instead of plucking it.

[stekel60]

[cutesavagebeast]

I already know how to read trumpet music, how do I read bass?

[Berserkedy]

@cutesavagebeast Instead of middle b it's a d in the middle of the staff.

[Berserkedy]

@cutesavagebeast middle c*

sweet sound to my ears!! plain and simply

[TommyTheDioFan]

Is bass guitar easy to play?

[Stheno490BC]

@TommyThe DioFan1.  Hi. It may be true that the Bass may be easier to get a sound out of if you only play it in it's most rudimentary form using Root notes, however it's as hard to master as any other instrument

[gfootball16]

@ErikCSovde look at the number of ledger lines on the note and count up :D

[sQoupedUdE]

TY =D

I've learning to read The ==d== notes from playing piano, but do I need to learn the 3-0-2 notes? I don't understand them, can someone explain? Or post a link?

[ChildrenOfDoom662]

shit i knew all that i was hoping maybe it would have the tabs for all those notes. my new jazz book has no tabs and thats how i learnt to play

[Jonnyt963]

How am i supposed to know where all those notes are on the bass...Like does it go by key?

[bassplayer1617]

thanks! this helped alot!

[yomammaonastick]

i need to learn how to read sheet music in order to try out for my jazz band at school i can play pretty well and i can read tabs and play by ear just fine i just cant read this stuff haha

[yuuichikamikaze]

This really helped me. I used to play the fife so the sheet music was different than the bass. I got the bass guitar and I didn't know how to read its sheet music until mow. Even though it's a sample, it helped me out a bit.

[0114sams07]

great, thanks.

[Rafo28579]

Thanks a lot!

[jaededify]

thanks this helped me a lot

[roge69charger]

Question?" Is the notation of the Bass Guitar written a whole octave higher than it really is, Like the Guitar on G Clef is really Written an Octave higher?

[Alienpelvis86]

yep

[roge69charger]

Thank you very much I appreciate it.

[Alienpelvis86]

the bass guitar/double bass are written an octave higher because sound wise, it would be far below thse staff

[HDx89]

i guess some ppl dont know the purpose of this video. this was to show how the lessons would look like if we get the DVD and and im satisfied. im considering buying it. lol i wonder if anyone was thinking they can learn everything in about 4 min.

[codydunn61]

Hi I am currently reading tabs but would like to learn the right way by playing with notes.

This video helped me but I am struggling with my tuner and knowing what notes are what notes on the neck of the bass

I currently have a four string kramer. Do you think you could help me online?

[barrysaxboy]

the best thing i can tell that will help is learn music theory in general. i just started playing bass guitar but i know music theory so i understand it well, start off with learning how to read sheet music after that learn sharps and flats then learn what a chromatic is.. after you know all this youll learn bass in 3 weeks

[MewPudding2006]

What are chromatics? I've been trying to find a site/video that explains it and I;ve failed doing so. Could you explain it to me?

[msternal]

Every note in the musical alphabet. A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G# A. Also known as the half step scale, 1 fret distance between notes.

[mets50504]

@msternal yeah, ur 100% right. thats why they call it the chromatic tuner

[codydunn61]

@barrysaxboy thanks i've been playing for a while now and its pretty easy for the most part.

[codydunn61]

@barrysaxboy thanks i've been playing for a while now and its pretty easy for the most part.

[codydunn61]

@barrysaxboy thanks i've been playing for a while now and its pretty easy for the most part.

[erhitfm]

ok so what should i do with this. what would you recomend me do to get all this down

[msternal]

Use rewind and take notes. Get some blank sheet music and try writing out some bass music.

[lolbros1997]

thanks, it helped me i can now play the song i wanted to play!!! :D THANKS :)

[msternal]

That is awesome! I'm glad to hear you are able to put it to use.
