Learn Your Bass Fretboard Notes (Easy Starter Method)

Then - the Paul Simon songbook! Seeing the chord shapes on guitar, and having to translate that into a root note for my bass helped cement where C, D, G, F… (basically everything up to the 5th fret on my bass) - were. More on guitar than on bass… but - luckily - they’re the same dang thing.

Ha, that’s cool! Never heard of someone learning bass notes that way. When in doubt, go to Graceland.
