system. The staff will show you what notes to play and the tablature will show you
how to play them.

Signatures
/
A
staff is divided into bars (or measures) by a bar line.
A
double bar line is used to
show that there is a transition approaching or that it is the end of the piece.
The time signatures tell us how many beats there are to the bar and what kind of
note gets one count. In
414
time, there are
4
quarter notes per bar and the quarter
note gets one count. In
314
time, there are
3
quarter notes per bar and the quarter
note gets one count.

In
414
time, there are 4 quarter notes per bar: 2 half notes; 1whole note or 8 eighth
notes.
TIE AND ACCENTS
-
A
tie is a curved line that connects two notes within a bar or across a bar line. In bar
1,
the quarter note is tied to an eighth note. This means that the quarter note is plucked and
the sound is allowed to ring through the eighth note without being plucked again. Bar 1
and bar
2
are written differently but both bars would be played the same. Bar 2 shows a
dotted quarter note. A dot after a note means to add 1
/2
of the note's value
-
in this
case, a quarter and an eighth note. Also in bar
2,
notice the accent mark. An accent tells
you to play that note louder.

In bar 1, all of the B's are Bb
.
When the last note in bar
1
(Bb) is tied over to the B
in bar 2, it also becomes Bb. The B in beat three of bar
2
is Bh since other than in a
tied situation a bar line cancels an accidental.

The count line is added to the tablature to show you how the rhythms arecounted.
A
bracket underneath the count shows you how tied and dotted notes are counted.
Rit. (or ritard) means to gradually slow down.

INTRODUCTION TO SCALES
The smallest interval (the distance between two notes) is called a half-step.
A
half-step
is the distance ofjust one fret on any string.
A
whole-step (which equals
2
half-steps), is
the distance of
2
frets on any string. Scales are made up of intervals (half-steps,
whole-steps and
1 1
/2
steps).
Developing a solid bass line requires the bassist to have a good grasp of scales (major,
minor, diminished, augmented, whole-tone, etc.) and modes (which you will find in the
Studio Series bass books). It is important to know that scales, modes, and intervals are
all "tools" that the bassist uses in his craft.
