50 Tunes
Volume 1 for Bass is one
book in a 5-book series.
The 50 Tunes series is a
collection of Bluegrass,
Old Time and Celtic tunes
for ensembles, families
and individuals. This
book contains the same 50
tunes as those found in
the other 4 books of the
series, but carefully
designed for the bass.
The parts in this book
range from beginner to
advanced and are arranged
in basic, active and solo
levels. Basic, a standard
accompaniment mode is the
simplest level of bass
playing. Active bass is a
mixture of basic
accompaniment and walking
which is common in jazz
music. Solo bass--which
involves fast, syncopated
melodic phrases - is the
most complex level of
bass playing. All parts
are written in standard
bass clef notation and
4-line bass tablature.
Tunes recorded by full
band, not all instruments
featured in every song.
Includes access to
extended length online
audio.
