"Tabz rok man cos u can see al da notes and stuff innit? and dey is having all the numbers to be making you get the songs wite, getme? DOPE/PEACE/WORD"
little bigheaded scrawny teenager voice OFF:
Seriously, tabs are all i can read
Im not aspiring to be a session artist ne-way, so i cant see the point of standard notation if all im gonna play is stuff ive heard before, or stuff im making up!
Its not like im gonna bother learning a song if ive never heard it before!
also, im pretty dumb.Theory does not exist in my world

.music notation is so simple,its only hard if you try to learn with someone who cant explain it simple.I think im gonna start a thread about the basics of notation.
What if you join a band and you dont have time to practice with them before a gig?they would have to give you the sheet music.if they gave you tab you wouldnt know what timing to play it in,when to rest,how long to hold a note etc....

yes well you wouldn't join a band just b4 a gig then would you? and how many bands, seriously, write out sheet music of all the parts? and anyways, i'm sure they'd be able to give you a tape or some such thing.
first off: anyone who doesnt know what a major scale is has no buissness playing ska
secondly: mustard plug is the coolest ska band in the world, ive seen them live four times (im from the same town they are) they kick ass live
third: mustard plug just got a new bassist and they are writting a new alblum, i suggest you all buy it when it comes out

ah we could argue about sheet music vs. tab forever,but sheet music is helpful in so many ways. and when u learn more theory and notes,its much easier to write songs with other musicians.
hey i aint argueing that tab is better, just that i am dumb, and do not undertsand sheet music.
BLAH
Doesnt mean im a bad bassist

Exactly.ive been a good bassist ever since i started
p) and once i started reading sheet music it didnt make me better,but i have gained the power of knowledge!i think the most important thing is ear training.i could list a million reasons,but im tired.
