I really don’t have a problem with anyone using tab. What get’s me fired up is when people think tab is a substitute for sheet music. It isn’t. If I handed you a tab of an unfamiliar song would you be able to read it on the spot. If you are, you’re special, because I have yet to meet someone who can. I certainly can’t. The effort to read is tab with the little letters above the notes indicating rhythm is very involved. Since I read both, I can absolutely assure you that reading traditional notation is far easier than reading a tab with these little indicators if you don’t know the song. Add slurs, slides, and other embellishments and it gets real fun. The notes are the easy part of a song anyway. It’s the execution that counts. 8^) Dave

I would much rather read a clef, since it is both easier and faster. I cannot figure out a complicated rhythm from tab. And even if I know the pattern is straight eighths, I still have to count frets. Nothing easy or fast about that, especially on a fretless. mps

Does anyone know where I could get sheet music online instead of bass tabs??? Where I don’t have to pay a grip of money for? I’m one of those bassist who HATES Tabs!! But anyways…hope someone can help me out.

The easiest way to get sheet music off the net is from MIDI files. There are lots of them out there and you can get software that interprets them and turns them into a score. You not only get the bass part, but all the other parts too. I use software called Music Time Deluxe from Passport which retails for between $50 and $90. I know there is also shareware that does the same job. Gary Smith – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Does anyone know where I could get sheet music online instead of bass > tabs???

Um, never. Get the picture? BTW the Nashville Number System is NOT tab. And I think you mean "producer" "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice…"

Does anybody read sheet music anymore? When was the last time you went into a studio and the director handed you tab?

I personally like sheet music, but when was the last time you tried to write music as a text file?

At least it’s better than the Nashville Number System!!

i do, at least i am learning to. but, tab is a good way to learn the "popular songs of today". actually, any idiot can read tab, and it’s a quick and dirty way to teach people songs. i am in a band, and as is the case in most young punk/experimental/rock groups none of us can read music that well. but, i have made up some parts for the guitar player, and had to tab them out for him. it’s just easier that sitting there and showing him. granted sheet music is better, and to read tab, you have to know what the song sounds like, but tabs have their place.
