First
Lessons Bass is intended
to introduce beginning
students to the
fundamental concepts of
playing the electric
bass. The material
covered in this book is
approximately the
material covered in the
first 8 lessons of
private bass instruction.
This book makes use of
the 3-finger left hand
position commonly found
in double bass technique.
The emphasis on left hand
technique allows the
student to develop a
consistent fingering
approach to the
fingerboard, reduces
unnecessary strain on the
left hand, and makes the
bass more accessible to
younger students or
students with small
hands. After the left
hand technique has been
established, the book
introduces the student to
important elements of
bass line construction
including blues patterns,
the root-fifth
relationship, and common
rhythmic patterns.
Includes access to online
audio and
video.
