I am just begging to play bass guitar yet I’ve completely forgot how to read sheet music. I do know how to read tabs which has helped a lot so far. Anyways I’m just wondering is it necessary to learn sheet music? If so how would it be more helpful than tabs?

Just getting over a cold so not my normal voice. I should have said in the video that the base notes are played with the left hand. When I started to learn guitar. I was told, “Oh you don’t want to learn to read music” Well , Yes I do. I did learn to at school about 60 years ago. Some of it I remember. It was never put to use, not even at school. No instruments them days. I have done the same thing for Guitar and Ukulele and do them all in sequence. Playing, sort of, many simple pieces. If there are TABS I tend to play to them. I will have to blank them out if I am going to be able to look at the music and play the note with out thinking.
