Learn bass. Read the music.
Big Bass teaches you to play bass guitar and read music from your very first note, with a tuner, metronome and drum grooves built in.
Lessons that start at zero.
Courses take you from reading music through grooves, slap and scales. Every play-along lesson shows tab, notes or both, with drums or a click behind you.

Bass clef, finally makes sense.
Short lessons and quizzes teach you to read the staff, then daily drills keep it fresh: name the note, find it on the neck, count the beats.
