bass tabs

[Stripey]

Can anyone suggest how to convert bass tab into just the notes to play, eg:

G------------------------------------------

D------------------------------------------

A--------3-3-0-3-3-5---------------------

E-----3-----------------3-3---------------

how could I work out what actual note is being played?

Learn the notes of the fretboard, the link below should help

Not sure how well it works, but you could try this converter-

You need to get your hands on either Powertab or Guitar pro. both are very good tabbing software that also display the musical lines. Guitar pro costs money though so i would suggest looking at powertab first. Google will find it

Guitar pro costs money though...

I've heard that if you type the words "Guitar Pro" into a certain kind of program then you can usually find it a lot cheaper

You used to but most of those sites (that i know nothing about honest ) are being closed by the RIAA or MPAA. But yes you can. I just don't think it is very legal and would never do that ever

[New Found Power]

Isn't powertab more widely used (and therefore easier to gets tabs for) though?

[Child_of_bodom]

They are both pretty widlely used but i find Guitar pro easier to use and better for writting seperate parts on. Power tab is good though. You just have to look.
