YT channel with very accurate and simplified tabs

[Matt Edjon]

Hello everyone!

I'd like share my YT channel where I play songs on bass with tabs on screen.

I have a format where I try to have the most accurate tabs possible and another where I make a simplified version

I hope some of you will be interested!

Thanks for posting on here Matt

Love the lack of waffle, wish more instructional videos were exactly like this

Shame about the Youtube copyright issues you have experienced, seems so unnecessary and pointless

 

Subscibed of course...

 

Good luck and wish you well

Not chatting endlessly, just getting on with it

Lengthy but vague or trivial talk or writing.

Example of use : "We've edited out some of the waffle"

[Geek99]

Your caption in the video says “send you request” - this should be “your request”?

 

 

I like  the format though and the simplified versions are a good idea

Matt .... apologies for using obscure or not easily understood English phrases

 

The format you are using on your channel is very useful to any bass player anywhere

 

It transforms any language barrier

 

Thanks for what you are doing

NOOOO ! How did I not see that .... Yes you're right, it's a typo, thanks so much for notice it

Good stuff! how about a bass clef/notation version for the hat trick?

No offence intended, where are you located ? 

[dmccombe7]

Excellent stuff. Just looking at Dean Town by Vulfpeck and its pretty accurate to me.

Nice work indeed.

Typing ‘you’ instead of ‘your’ is a common typo amongst native English speakers in my experience. Don’t know why just one of those quirky things.

Quality Matt

 

Love the no nonsence approach. Clear view of neck and view of finger style/ plectrum. Great you used a variety of basses. I was wondering if a fairly new player stumbled on the site, would it be benifical to add your tone options or effects used to create the sound? For example 'walking on the moon" A newer player might appreciate a link or something? Just a thought.

 

I really wish you the best of luck. Good for you

[SteveXFR]

Looks nicely done. Any plans to add some punk and metal tunes?

You know, I often ask myself this question but the truth is that is actually a lot of additionnal work for me because I'm not very good with that notation  

Sure I can become better and better but for now I'm gonna stick to the tabs. Maybe later if more and more people ask for it !

Thank you for your comm

Mmmh pretty neat idea ! The thing is that I work with a Markbass Studio VST Standalone, I can maybe put a screen capture of my settings but I don't know if it can be usefull

I'll think of that for sure

 

Thanks for your comment !

Thanks !! Well I got to admit that I don't know much about thoses styles  I only know Metallica but I'm sure all of theirs songs have been covered already XD 

I'm a huge fan of Tool and I really want to cover them soon. Maybe some At The Drive In but apart from that I'm a big noob ...

I think Metallica and Tool tabs are already well covered on YouTube. There's not many Faith No More tabs, no idea why. Billy Gould is one of the great metal bassists.

Rancid tabs are generally wrong, Matt Freeman is far from your average punk Bassist. Maxwell Murders and Journey To The End of East Bay are the obvious choices but also Sound System by Operation Ivy (same bassist) is a great bass line.

 

A lot of punk tabs get simplified to just root notes and they miss out all the fills that make them interesting.
