Reading music is useful even if you may not "need" to read music. If you're not a professional bass player or a theatre musician or someone else who requires the skill, then why bother?
Because it opens up a whole world of music and hones these skills:
- Note learning
- Fretboard knowledge
- Rhythms
- Learning new styles
- Expanding your repertoire
In this lesson, I'll take you through a short 1/16th note piece, which you can play along with at the end of the video.
Scroll down for the notation (zero TAB here...) and for some useful resources.
