Jay 01-24-2002, 11:28 PM You might have a little difficulty finding Bach TaBz, but here's a site I've used for some Bach tunes. If you can't read standard notation, now's an excellent time to learn! :D www.virtualsheetmusic.com I highly recommend the cello suites, they're delicious. :cool: Brad Barker 01-25-2002, 03:01 PM there is a book published with bass in mind "JS Bach for Bass." it includes both notation and tabz! best of both worlds? even though that is a matter of opinion (and ours slants toward the "conservative"-tabs are bad), the tabs are sometimes unhelpful. I play two (partita no. 3 in E and...um...another one!), and i noticed that the tab for the former had some bad "suggestions." It was easier to play certain notes on a different string/fret rather than what the tabs read. If you get really serious into it, I would suggest taking lessons from a qualified teacher. My left hand technique dramatically improved from playing Bach, mostly due to the fingering (...) my teacher demonstrated to me. cassanova 01-25-2002, 03:44 PM Originally posted by Gopher Bob Hey whats a good site with Bach Bass tabs on it?

I just got this book, and although I haven't tried any of the pieces in it yet, I'm looking forward to trying it out this weekend. But, IMO, for $12.95 for ten J. S. Bach pieces and an included CD, it's not a bad price.

I learned one piece from it and play it all the time for warming up. It was written for violin, and when I played the original for my wife (from a Bach CD we have) she said it was so fast that I'd never be able to play it on bass at full speed. I proved her wrong. Now when I can play it at full speed, I know I'm warmed up and ready to play. yawnsie 01-28-2002, 05:51 PM Paging Dave Grossman... Actually, if you must have Bach tabz, www.activebass.com has quite a few, which I must confess I have used before in the past. |
