Reading this thread gives me relief that I'm not a useless bass player when I struggle on certain songs 😁

Danny is the only YouTube bassist that doesn't get on my nerves in one way or the other.

Nothing special just a Polytune

Scaled back my board to just a compressor, overdrive and DI with a tuner just off screen

Ever since I've been playing an instrument from guitar and for the last 12 or so years the bass I've only ever used and really understood tab. I'm now at the point in my journey I want to learn to read and understand sheet music but I've no idea where to start. Can anyone point me in the direction of a few YouTube vids, articles etc to set me off prepared in the best direction to achieve my aim?

Gave me a right fright this topic 😄

Second rehearsal as a band yesterday and wow! That rush of jamming with others is like a drug and I want more

Thanks for the replies 👍 much appreciated

At our next rehearsal our guitarists are going to be playing songs that would normally be in E down to Eb. I've no issue with this but don't want to make myself an idiot by asking this but anyways 😂 is it just a matter of playing the same notes that would be in E tuning for a song but just with my bass tuned down half a step? Hope that makes sense
