Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book (which is made skinny so that it fits in a guitar case) is the one I started on.I am a strong advocate of taking 1-on-1 lessons for an instrument, but I would also additionally recommend buying a book or two onthe side for reference and to aid practice.This book covers a little bitof everything: technique and posture, root and fifth, notation andtablature, triads, scales, hooks, slapping, pick playing, playing differentstyles, etc.The text is also very well written.Also includes helpfuldiagrams, and pictures here and there of bass players famous for theirindividual performance or who they played for.And the fact that it'sstill in print after all these years ought to tell you something.
My onlycomplaint was that the book _looks_ dated.While examples are given in theback for "jazz", "rock" and "country", youalso find things like "New Wave".I would think that this wouldturn off a lot of young players today, who might be wondering why all thepictures were taken in the 80s, what "New Wave" is, and whythere's no section for "alternative".But STILL, the variety oftopics introduced in this book makes it an excellent tool for beginners,and at half of the price of most other instructional books.
