Category: Bass Guitar and Bajo Sexto - Audio Products: Self-Instruction
Level: Beginning-Intermediate
This book is designed to give bass players an understanding of the bass fingerboard. Knowledge of the fingerboard is essential for the creation of melodic bass lines. Bass players must understand their instruments and be able to perform on then to the utmost of their abilities. To do this, they need the same tools that make any musician a powerful performer. The first set of tools consists of scales and arpeggios, which are the basic units from which all melodies and chord progressions are derived. This book will teach you, with a minimum of pain and lost sleep, how to play these patterns over the entire range of this beautiful instrument. Written in notation and tablature (TAB). Every exercise appears on the accompanying CD.
