Alfred's Ultimate Play-Along series gives you everything you need to jam with your favorite songs. This book contains authentic TAB transcriptions, music notation, lyrics, and chords to eight Journey classics. There are two versions of every song on the included CDs: an instrumental sound-alike recording, and an instrumental accompaniment track without bass so you can play along. When you use the CDs in your Mac or Windows-based computer, the TNT (Tone 'N' Tempo) Changer lets you easily loop sections for practice, slow tracks down or speed them up without changing the pitch, change the key, and switch back and forth between the full-instrumental and play-along tracks. / Guitare Basse

Par TAUZIN BRUNO. La méthode de référence de l'apprenti bassiste ! Cette méthode de basse est indéniablement le meilleur moyen pour le bassiste possédant déjà les bases de progresser dans la pratique de son instrument. Extrêmement complète et néanmoins progressive, cette méthode aborde tous les éléments qu'un bassiste de niveau intermédiaire se doit de maîtriser : la création de lignes et grooves de basse, les rythmes ternaires, le staccato, les gammes et tonalités mineures, la double croche, le jeu au médiator, les notes mortes, les signes de reprise et de renvoi, les bases du slap... Elle prend ainsi le relai du volume précédent, dédié aux débutants, tout en en restant totalement indépendante. Enfin, cette méthode propose un enseignement ludique, avec des tas de morceaux à la manière des plus grands artistes d'hier et d'aujourd'hui (The Beatles, U2, Dire Straits, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Strokes, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, The Police, Jaco Pastorius, etc...), et des playbacks à profusion pour se faire plaisir et apprendre à jouer 'en place?. Le DVD joint à la méthode constitue une aide complémentaire de tout premier ordre, puisqu'il permet d'entendre mais aussi et surtout de visualiser tous les exemples musicaux tels qu'ils doivent être joués. De son côté, le CD MP3 fourmille de playbacks en tout genre, permettant de mettre en application tous les exemples et autres morceaux de la méthode, et de se préparer au jeu en groupe./ Méthode / Guitare Basse
