This is a really good question and some people will say to never look at tabs while others will say it’s ok.

Tablature is music that is written where the fret numbers and strings are listed out (sometimes with the rhythms indicated). Basically a cheat sheet instead of listening or studying written music.

Now there are people who rely on tablature to learn songs if they are just wanting to play out and maybe do not want to take the time to actually listen to the notes and figure them out themselves. Another reason would be that they simply cannot read music.

In this video, we are going to be looking at a bass tabs version of Greensleeves and identifying how we can use this tba and others as a means of learning our bass and music theory better!
