At the menu of this method, certainly a must-have for any serious bass player, here are 25 bass lines... to have fun above all, but also to let you make progress musically as well as technically. To give you the keys to these major styles, a preliminary chapter will describe their distinctive features (sound, scales and arpeggios, influential bassists...). The accompanying disc contains audio and video files. The videos (mp4) show all the bass grooves as they should be played, at normal tempo then at slow tempo.

You will then be able to practise the featured grooves and maybe even develop your own ideas... in the Old School style ! / Pédagogie / Etude / Guitare Basse
