Instructions
Are the notes written an octave too high? No — the bass is a
transposing instrument.
Music for the bass is written one octave higher than pitch actually played.

- You'll see an empty staff.
- Click anywhere on the fingerboard (click on the nut for open strings) to see the matching note on the staff.
