After the war, people started to turn their attention to entertainment. Soloists, duets, groups of singers and entertainers took advantage of the need to erase the painful memories during the post-war period. They created diversity in their music as the groups of people who listen to them rapidly increase
The rise of entertainers also saw the increase in the demand for better musical instruments that are cheaper and manageable by musicians. By the year 1950, Leo Fender, an inventor and founder of the Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company, introduced a bass guitar that was not only stylish in design, but also produced a tone that caught the attention of people in even in the nosiest of bars. He wanted a musical instrument that would not just be as outstanding as other musical instrument alike. He wanted an instrument that outplayed them as well. This marked the birth of the Fender bass guitar.
Leo Fender’s bass guitar, although similar to the Rickenbacker design, was a refreshing improvement. That is probably the reason why Fender bass guitars and other accessories have dominated the music industry for 50 years.
The Fender bass guitar is also known as the Fender Precision Bass. Bass guitarists love the design and the sound it produces. Additionally, it is the first bass guitar to be produced in large batches due to the demand for this greatly appreciated musical instrument. Makers of Fender Bass Guitar continue to update its design much to the delight of music players, especially guitarists.
he design of the bass guitar has continually evolved but still sticks to the comfort and sound they initially introduced with this musical piece. Many bass guitar variants came out featuring the same quality and even better. There were the fretless Fender bass guitars, the Jazz Bass and even the Tony Franklin signature three-way pick up selector switch.
After developing a certain proficiency, you are going to perhaps give a bass guitar lesson of your own. A great tool for bass guitar instruction is the use of tablature. There is much you can impart to students by the use of bass guitars tabs.
Many online bass guitar lessons are done with the use of tabs. In fact, there is so much information on bass playing out there that is put into tab form, that a good percentage of tab is done by novices who are getting songs like Blink 182’s ‘Adam’s Song’ bass tabs all wrong.
A rule of thumb is this. If you Google a random tab for a song, for your use or the use of your pupil’s, chances are it would be all wrong. This is why it helps to have a good ear to verify these tabs, or to learn a song yourself and put this into tabs.
1. For bass guitar, it may be insufficient to have just the frets and lines indicating what to play. After all, good technique must be inculcated early on. You could not expect one to play funk bass or something like a Flea bass solo if they didn’t know what to do with their right and left hands.
Slap bass may seem like an intuitive thing, until you hear bad attempts at it. Tabs must at the very least be supplemented by bass guitar videos, say on Youtube, to show how something is to be done right.
2. You should know how to go about writing tabs. Even if you are fairly capable of learning by ear, an inefficient manner of putting things down on paper could lead to a great loss of time.
3. It is advised for you to learn things by the passage. Let us say you are tabbing a song for your student to learn guitar arpeggios. You do not need to play and then pause and then write down the note, and then play-pause-write again.
It is much better to hear how a passage goes and the arrangement of say eight notes in succession, before putting this down either with a pen, or typed out in your computer.
After all, if you have learned sufficient musical theory and are familiar with arpeggio shapes, then you would be familiar with the notes being played and have the proper order of it in your head. This saves so much time, even hours of it.
4. After tabbing out something, it helps to do a ‘spell check.’ Review the entire piece or song, listening to it while reading your tabs. For fast passages, either slow down the tempo or use the pause function.
In reviewing what you did, you may notice some mistakes you have made. Another good thing about reviewing your work is that you are able to comprehend the work as a whole, and even find better and less awkward fingerings and positions for a certain part.
Even when you teach using bass guitar tabs, make sure your student’s horizons are expanded, teaching him listening methods and the proper theory for him to be able to learn tabbing as well.
