Tabs

[newbassista]

Hello everyone.

After 18 years of break I started to play bass again 3 months ago motivated cause they asked to help a band in a church, the problem is I always played bass by myself without taking any class and I've been using tabs and I'm pretty good with them.

Now with the songs I need to learn I can't find any tabs at all. Are all brasilian songs, pretty easy but there is no tabs.

Is there a site where I can translate the songs from YouTube or wherever in tabs?

Some people don’t like tab, but I say anything that gets you playing is good in my eyes.

 

I can’t talk for Brazilian music, but resources like Songster are pretty good.

 

ChatGPT can also generate tab, too, but I don’t know how accurate it may be.

Hi and welcome,  quite a lot of the songs I learn there isn’t tab for, I always look first and if there is it gets me started although it sometimes isn’t correct, I tend to just learn by ear and breaking it down into sections, there is an app which I find useful called Looptube which lets you isolate sections and you can slow it down to make it easier, maybe give that a look

GuitarPro does both notation and tabs, so if you have a 'dots' version, GP will create a 'tab' for you. Don't be fooled by the name, GP works well for bass, too.

Tab, Bah humbug.

Thank you all, indeed I'm trying to find it on chatgpt, let's see if they are pretty close.

I'll write the entire name on the chat

The issue you're going to have with tablature is that it doesn't usually give you a clue of the rhythm. Can you follow the chord symbols and improvise the parts?

 

Also, are the songs printed in classical notation?

With tablatures I try a couple of times mwhile I listen to the song with the headphones until I find the right rhythm.

The easiest way is find the song on YouTube of someone playing it with tablatures below but of course you can't find every songs
