De meeste basgitaren hebben vier snaren en die worden van boven naar beneden E-A-D-G genoemd. De meeste bassisten gebruiken hun duim of vingers om basgitaar te spelen. Je kunt ook de snaren plukken of hameren wat een ander soort geluid geeft. Ook basgitaar moet je leren spelen door makkelijke liedjes te leren spelen. Daarom staan hieronder een paar liedjes om mee te oefenen. Veel succes.
De tab voor een bassist ziet er dus zo uit. (zie afbeelding 1)
