Reading Music On Bass Ukulele - Lesson 1

Reading Music On Bass Ukulele - Lesson 1

How to read music for bass ukulele or ubass and bass guitar. Great for beginners or bass players who want to start reading music.

The first lesson on how I teach bass players to read music and musical notation. Having taught bass instruments for over 30 years I use the Team Strings method book as it is very simple to follow and ideal for any bass ukulele or bass guitarists wishing to read music notation. In this lesson we cover the D and A notes, note values, time signatures and rests.

Find my taster / tester lesson where I explain why I use this book here:

I've already done videos on the notes on the bass ukulele fingerboard and how to read bass TABs, this looks specifically at reading music in the bass clef - works on bass ukulele, bass guitar and double bass.

Still aimed at beginner bass players.
