Jason Rasos Soloing on Electric Bass: A Chord Tone Approach provides the next step following his first book for Mel Bay Publications, Improvising on Electric Bass. The primary focus of this second book is to help you develop a more melodic approach to solo bass playing. The author suggests avoiding root notes, concentrating instead on chord tones of a 3rd, 5th, and 7th as fertile ground to begin revising your approach to more creative soloing. Following a series of standard notation exercises exploring intervals and goal notes in all keys, Jason presents a dozen original solo etudes in notation and tablature.

This book is intended for bass players who want to play some of J. S. Bach's beautiful music to improve their sight reading and technique. These two-part inventions were originally created for keyboard and have been adapted for two 4 string bass. In order to technically fit the range of the instrument some of the parts haven been transposed one octave up or down and some of the ornamentation and special notation has been simplified. On the online recording the right hand, part one, is on the right channel and the left hand, part two, on the left. Practice the parts by yourself before playing it along with the recording. Includes access to online audio.
