I'm in the progress of teaching myself metal/rock bass and have started with the obvious tabs of bands such as Megadeth and RHCP along with Metallica and so on, i've seem to hit a wall that i figured would show up soon enough(not knowing standard notation). I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction to a chart that could help me learn the notation on the bass (4string). I'm not knew to reading standard notation i can do it just fine on a sax. but i can't for the life of me figure it out on the bass and can't seem to find anything worth studying on the net thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
