What Are Bass Tabs?

Bass tabs are a format of music notation that are specifically designed for bass guitars. Unlike traditional sheet music, bass tabs display the frets and strings of the bass, making it easier for beginners to learn new songs. Tabs are usually presented in a grid format, with numbers displayed on each line indicating which fret to play on each string.
