Hey this is the music that plays on NPR when they talk about stocks

[@jamesmitchell6925]

Aaaaaahhhh!!! It's missing the last chord symbol! My brain is going explode!

[@TKolarczyk]

just wanted to challenge bassists minds ;)

[@jodi183]

That previous bar's II-V is a good indicator for that missing "I" chord ;-)

[@timoteosousa42]

Muito bom. Obrigado

[@webrambler88]

I wish it was a tab because I'm hopeless at reading notes like these!

[@JasperGS]

webrambler88 learn

[@dcj991]

Tab doesn't work as well for double bass

[@bensblues]

@@dcj991 it doesnt work as well for bass either its just simpler. If youre playing this kind of music you need a fair understanding of music theory let alone the ability to read music

[@dcj991]

@@bensblues I definitely agree, but tab did help me in my very early stages of electric when I didn't even know the first 5 notes on the A string.

[@bensblues]

@@dcj991 Yeah it works well for lots of electric stuff though especially fast licks, i learned classical guitar years before electric and i think that is a much better way to learn in the long run.
