His bass player, Garry Tallent, is absolutely amazing, and he gets hardly any recognition. I'm working on 25 songs for a Springsteen tribute band, and I'm blown away by what interesting bass lines he comes up with.
Hi Tom, great video and format for teaching. I mean simultaneously showing notation, tablature and actual performance is really accomplishing a lot in your video, giving so much choice available for learning method. But I was wondering, In your experience, can you give a guesstimate of how many bass players including new students find it needful or useful to employ standard notation in their learning and what the most common reasons are for this?
Please let me chime in with my own personal experience. For me, have the notations be every in the world. If I'm trying to know what the player is doing,by watching , I have a hard time knowing what string and fret he's playing, and then adding in the sequences of note, I might as well try learning by ear. Also is takes almost all of my very limited brain capacity translate verbal instruction Tabs allow be to be able step back and view the music exteriorly, as opposed to riding on what for me is a runaway train, if you know what I mean. Tabs are gold to me
Yes, what an iconic bass line! IMHO, I believe both are important new student or a seasoned player to display both to the tab for where the note is on the fretboard and the notation to actually see "how" it's supposed to be played. I think many beginners pick up on the notation portion from repetition. Look how so many have learned with Guitar Hero software, only what we have here is worlds better to apply to both groups of viewers. Many seasoned players that read notation aren't really keen on tabs and vice versa.
Big fan of your work Tom! I believe the C# at the downbeat 2:24 is wrong (in the transcription but not in the playing). Thanks for all the great play-alongs and exercises. I wonder if you would ever consider making transcriptions on patreon available without tabs... Would be great for figuring out positions myself and then comparing once watching your playing. Also would enable fitting much more music on each page! Best wishes
I think you're right Darragh. I also get your point about the tabs being distracting. Sometimes since it's such a clear bass line in his lessons, I use it as a way to improve my ear and transcription ability, and the tabs are right underneath the cursor which kind of defeats the purpose. (Tabs are obviously a big help if people can't read, though.)
Great play along video, Tom! Very well done! Question, how did you make the background music? The tempo variations seem real close to the Springsteen recording.

A simple bass line, but those slides help drive the tune
Killer! Any chance you could send me the transcription? ;-)
Why??
