Assuming that the reader followed the lessons of book #1, Mel Bay's Bass #2 continues to guide beginners through formulating basic riffs to accompany guitarists. Echoing the rockabilly style of his time, Bay provides scale patterns as well as simple, but fun, walking lines (without tab). If a beginner is looking for a throroughly educating book, this is the one!
Good to learn more than just book one! I like the old copies the best. Those don't have the aggravating online audio BS. With my Crate BX50 and my black coil cord, I'm thumping bumping and rocking with book 2!!!
I learned from this book over twenty years ago, and find them (volume 1 and 2) easy to use for self-teaching; my nephew is learning now, so I bought him the set.
Bought this to assist in learning the basic about playing bass, and it is an outstanding book to get you strated. Well written, and easy to understand.
