This Bass method differs from others since it is entirely based on practice. You will not find riffs or licks of one or two lines, but rather full pieces in the style of some of the greatest bluesmen - Otis Rush, BB King, Eric Clapton, Freddie King,Buddy Guy, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Magic Sam and more. Before addressing the 50 Bass lines in this method, a preliminary chapter will teach you how to build lines in the blues style. In doing so, you will be able to analyse what you areplaying later, before learning to create your own. You'll also be introduced to structure, rhythm, arpeggios, scales, chromatic approaches and more. The included DVD allows you to listen to all of the featured Bass lines played at normal speed, thenat a reduced speed, in order to learn the right gestures. The MP3 CD contains backing tracks for you to play along to, at two different speeds: the first being normal (the speed to be achieved), while the second is reduced to help with study. Intotal, over seven hours of music is included, giving you the opportunity to practice in the best possible conditions.
