I have never read a note of music and played it successfully. I go by tabs with the bass. Tabs can get confusing at times...but try to start off with simple stuff (heh). The things I'm having trouble with (but I know what they are) are the hammers and pull off's and stuff.,

the numbers stand for which fret you are on
so just play open E (low), the 1 first fret and so on to 5

yup. like the chords would usually only have like 2 strings held down at a time. but there's still a load of chords for bass.

Numbers are written on the lines to show you where to fret the string
with the left hand. If a zero appears , this means play the open string.
Like standard musical notation, you read from left to right to find
out what order to play the notes. The following piece of TAB would mean
play the sequence of notes (E F F# G G# A) on the bottom E string by
moving up a fret at a time, starting with the open string.


E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E---0--1--2--3--4--5---------------------------------------------

That has confused me. I'm attemting to learn tabs. I'm not doing to well.


it's easy enough, though i cant really talk, it took me long enough to understand...the 6 lines are the strings, lowest is the bottom e, and highest is the top e...and the number are where you need to postition your fingers on the fret board...so 0 would be just play an open e, 1 would be on the first fret ect...
