Are you unsure how to
appropriately use that low B-
string? This book and
accompanying audio will show
you how, and much more. The
book starts you off with
right-hand technique exercises
to increase finger speed.
Next, the material takes you
through the scales and chords
that comprise most western
music, through the whole range
of the bass. Before you know
it, the bass will be lighting
up with infinite
possibilities. This freedom
makes playing an extended
range instrument so
gratifying. The etudes section
will get you thinking about
idea development through an
array of styles and time
signatures, while
simultaneously giving your
chops a workout. You can use
this book to help connect the
ears, hands and mind. Be
careful when taking this book
to the woodshed because you
might burn it down!
