what do parenthesis around a number mean? example: __________________ __(3)_____________ __________________ ___9______________
I believe it means the note is heavily muted or 'ghosted'. That's how I've been interpreting it anyway
I'd say that ghost note is a reasonable interpretation. Does that sound right in the context of the piece? Some tab authors include a little 'legend' explaining the code they are using - I think this is a really good idea and to be encouraged. Wulf
Wooten tab book? I haven't seen that - is it purely tab or does it have standard notation as well? Wulf
Great - check the standard notation and that should reveal what the tab means. If the standard notation shows the note marked with an X rather than a normal note head, then it's definitely a ghost note. If it's the Bass Extremes book then give me a page and bar reference and I'll have a look in my copy. Wulf
