With this method, you will finally learn and especially understand how to use the minor scale (natural) on bass, but also discover all its melodic potential to exploit it at best. After a few essential pages dedicated to theory, you will approach these 12 minor scales - which every bass player must master - in the most coherent and effective way. Thus, for each of them, you will discover on the left page the name and the location of the notes on the neck (22 boxes), as well as the chords on which the scale in question can be played safely. On the right page, as an illustration, you will discover a long bass line that uses this one and only range, accompanied by two recordings (to download), the first for the demonstration and the second for the implementation (playback support). You can then play your turn on this soundtrack not only the example offered, but also any other groove or bass line of your design... from the minor scale in question of course! All the recordings of this method (bass lines and playbacks) can be downloaded for free and very easily by following the instructions provided in the book.

This book aims at making you play your first accompaniments on bass. You will start by playing very simple bass lines around which, over the pages, will become progressively richer, more loaded, until ending with accompaniments mixing white, black and eighth notes, on Pop, Rock and Blues grids of 8 and 12 bars. Equalling to 40 accompaniments in total, presented in the greatest clarity with, on the score, both the staff and the corresponding tablature, but also the name of the chords that the bass accompanies. To learn how to play in place, but also to have fun as if you were in a band, among other musicians, a specific playback for each of the 40 bass lines is available. Finally, on the data disc (mp3 audios and mp4 videos) attached to the method, you will find a video of the only bass part for each accompaniment, an audio recording mixing the bass and its playback, and finally the playback itself, in long-term version. More than 4 hours of music in total!
