Par DESPREZ JOSQUIN. When Leo Fender invented the electric bass in the early 1950s, little did he know the musical revolution that would follow. Dozens of musical styles were born as a direct result of his invention. Mel Bay's Encyclopedia of Bass Riffs is an overview of over 40 different musical styles, covering 50 years of electric bass playing. Through a wide variety of stylistic examples, this book explores many musical genres that may have never existed without the electric bass guitar. These examples will undoubtedly add diversity to your musical vocabulary and supplement your style. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Rock and Jazz - Licks and Phrases / Répertoire / Guitare Basse

Par GORDON ANDREW D.. Outta Sight Funk and R&B Riffs for Bass is designed to help both Bass players and Keyboard players improve their Bass playing technique with a wide range of different Funk riffs and grooves.

Each of the 55 example riffs has been recorded three times on the accompanying CD: played through twice with drums & percussion, guitars and keyboards at the regular tempo; Rhythm tracks at the regular tempo to practice along with; and a slowed down track of the Bass part with just a click track so you can hear precisely what the Bass part is playing.
