BASS TABLATURE 2


Here are some more examples of Bass Tab.
The most important thing at this stage is to sound the notes clearly with your thumb
or with a plectrum. You could also try the alternate rest stroke with the index and middle fingers
if you have practised this technique during your Bass Guitar Lesson at college.

If you play through the examples above slowly and sound each note clearly
you'll be making good progress.
Remember to keep the fretting fingers just up behind the fret.
