On the BASS GUITAR NOTES SECTION you can click on the strings and frets of the Electric Bass to see the corresponding note on the staff, its name and its pitch. It has exercises so you can practice recognizing the notes of the Electric Bass:

Exercises without a time limit to answer - Basic Level
Exercises with time limit to answer - Intermediate Level

After working this exercises you will be able to see a note on the staff and locate it´s position on the fretboard and you will be able to see an specific fret and string and know which is the corresponding note on the staff.

The MELODIC READING SECTION is to practice sight reading of notes on the virtual Electric Bass. When each exercise begins you must click on the bass fret and string corresponding to the notes that are heard and which you must read at first sight.

The highest score for each exercise is 100 points. If you don´t get at least 80 points we suggest to work on that exercise a little more.

The RHYTHMIC READING SECTION is to practice sight reading of rhythms for Electric Bass on different time signatures. On each exercise you have to click on a button when each of the notes or silences that are marked with red on the staff takes place.

The highest score for each exercise is 100 points. If you don´t get at least 80 points we suggest to work on that exercise a little more.

Playing the Electric Bass Guitar can be easier than playing the Electric Guitar or the Acoustic Guitar. One of the main differences between these instruments is that guitar strings are thiner than Guitar Bass strings. The other aspect that is different is that Guitar music is written on Treble Clef while Bass Guitar music is written on Bass Clef. So it this app is very helpful for anyone playing Bass Guitar.

You don´t have to know guitar chords or guitar scales to know how to play the Bass Guitar.
