Quick correction - At the 9:10 mark, the note marked at the 5th fret on the A-string should actually be on the E-string.

So does this mean that learning to read tabs is easier for people who play lefty?

Kayley Neil how is it going? I have been self teaching for 2 weeks and loving it! Admittedly I am a music major, so I have had some skills transfer. I came to this vid just to make sure I was doing everything right as I thought. I can already read sheet music, but tabs are so much easier.

How are you coming along now?

as a "non english speaking person" (i'm belgian) i sometimes to put the playing speed on x75 (it gives you more time to translate in your head)... i used this technique on this video and i can say i all honesty, that this was one of the most instructive videos i have ever found on youtube.

This was so dang helpful. I’m a beginner. As in I have never picked up a musical instrument and I’m 38. I’ve always wanted to learn and I picked the bass..I’m a bit of a rock/ metal fan and I love the sound of the bass. Great video.

Same here, started with guitar when I was around 8 but my hands were too small to actually fret chords, so I picked up the ukulele and bass and have been playing for about 3 years. Never bothered to actually learn how to sight read though, so here I am

I'm just getting started with my bass playing and this is going to be super helpful! Gorillaz is my favourite band so when you used Feel Good Inc. as an example I jumped up in my seat and just spent a solid minute playing the riff over and over.

I used to play the electric guitar as a teen, but now at the age of 29 I've decided to take up the guitar again but this time with a bass. This video has helped me a lot and I think I'm going to buy my first bass guitar. Thanks for all the simply explained tips (a lot of other people over complicated things which initially put me off).

Thank you, man! I originally play the cello, so when i got a bass I got really confused when i saw these strange notes with numbers, but this really helps.

Very good bass guitar teacher with excellent step-by- step instruction!!

Finally a really clear and good explanation to the reading bass tabs

as soon as you started playing gorrilaz it just gave me more motivation omg

This helped me tremendously, the inversion of the strings. I was playing top down instead of bottom up, what a difference.

When you already play bass and read tabs but you saw a tool tab and your like wtf

This is an xcellent video. Love your delivery, really clear and precise. Thank you Luke 👏👏

Love the video been trying to learn by my self and it hast been working been rapping my head round it so long just wanted to give up trying but seen this video and now it seems to be a lot easier now

Probably the most helpful and understandable tutorial i've watched, thank you very much :)

I’m really lucky because I’m left handed so the tab is the right way

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU

super helpful, trying to figure out how to read bass music before I actually get one, thanks!

Your videos are helping me a lot. Thank YOU!!

Thank you so much I rewatch this video many times and now I'm able to read Bass tabs Tnx for the good advice

Thanks for your advice about the base tabs being upside down and how you see it and reverse it in your mind when you look at the fretboard, I can now follow bass tabs much more easily. Another I’ve found is to look at the fretboard and think the strings are right but the numbers on the bass tab are upside down.

This is an excellent lesson and explanation.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAD ALWAYS SO CONFUSED ABOUT THE NUMBERS

Dude, this is the most helpful video for bass ive watched. Thank u for this

THANKYOU!!!! I'm going to watch all your videos! I get my bass on Wenesday!!!

Actually my name is Gavin , learning to read tabs is like learning another language facanating, frustrating but oh so rewarding when you get it right...I'm going to try Zeplins Good times bad times, like I said "try" being the operative word here. ..and bucket loads of patience. .. And the dude who I'm going to try does the tutorial in Spanish but if you understand tabs the language is not an obstacle, amazing. .. Tabs love 'em. .. Thank you.

Thanks for the lesson my guy
