We
have all heard bass lines
that literally make the
song. The purpose of this
book is to integrate
sight-reading ability
with the facility to
create such original and
memorable bass lines. The
author includes studies
and examples in rock,
blues, jazz, reggae,
funk, Calypso and other
styles- all while
imparting new playing
skills and essential
music theory. This book
is not a shortcut method,
but rather offers a clear
overall perspective of
learning to play the bass
in popular styles. The
appendix includes
information on key
signatures, scale
patterns, and a versatile
chart of chord spellings
from major triads to 13th
chords. Written primarily
in standard notation with
a few fretboard scale
diagrams, this book will
give you the
comprehensive fretboard
knowledge and improved
sight-reading ability you
need to become The
Literate Bassist you were
meant to be.
