FastTrack Bass Method - Book 1 (Fast Track Music Instruction) (Bk.1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book lives up to its title.The combo of the CD and written material (tab + instruction) is excellent.The book has both tab and sheet music to learn from and you get to play along with the CD.This really enforces the concepts of time (rythum) and harmonics (chords, scales, etc.).Many different styles and tempos really help accelerate your learning process.For me timing was a very tough concept to grasp and playing along and viewing the various tempos and riffs in the book has brought me a long way toward being a respectable bassist.I still jam with friends who can play lead, rythum and drums and that just reinforces the concepts.
One thing I have to mention to be fair in the review is that I have bought a lot of the available "Learning" Books, DVD's, etc. that are on the market.This one is by far the best at teaching the conceptual and physical (real world) playing concepts.If you really want to play bass and want to learn quickly I highly recommend this book.
Another note - read some theory.At least enough to know the notes on the neck of the bass and how to find them.A little scale and chord construction will help you out a lot.Oh- and read up on timing and rythum as it applies to the bass.With this background and a concerted effort to play the material in this book you will progress quickly.
Guitarnoise.com has some great Bass Sections on timing and theory as well as cyberfretbass.com.They're both free and will help accompany the concepts and playing material in the book.
In short - for the money this is the best da#! beginning bass book on the market.
