Having not studied classically, the JS Bach book has helped my technique enormously and I can already see and feel improvements from playing the pieces. Enjoyable and interesting studies to play. Definitely a must buy for all bassists whatever style. Guaranteed fast results...lets see what my jazz colleagues think of my solo pieces now! Go buy it now!
Great book, and even better if you've got a mate who can learn the accompanying parts.Bach pieces arranged for the bass vary from the simple to the all out incredible, but with this bok you can work over the easy and the hard stuff at your own pace. Tab is there for those that need it, bu the notation is also there which is very important to get a feel for the pieces. The notes are also most informative with regard to feel, time signature and speed. Given enough practise, you can master a few of the arrangements very quickly, and before long, be able to impress a few people with your new found dexterity. Then impress them more when you do a full duet with a mate...
This is a great book for intermediate to advanced level Electric Bass. There are two duets for Bass and Violin (or G Clef instrument) and one for Bass with accompaniment for Piano. Includes the tab notation which helps a lot!
Not the most thrilling of all music you can buy, but it is accessable to intermediate players like myself. Nice to play something different besides Rush and Cream, and my wife doesn't mind listening to it either.Not for beginners. May be useful to know what the piece sounds like before you attempt to play it.
The material is excellent but definitely for a more advanced player. It's the only reason I give it four stars because it doesn't tell you just how difficult most of the pieces are. After 7 years of playing bass and many more years of sight reading ... I can only really play two of the pieces. But its an excellent book for more advanced players. Some of the advanced techniques: playing chords on the bass, trills, 24th note rhythms. Needless to say ... you will definitely have fun and grown as you learn to play these pieces. Invention #4 in Dm is well worth the price!
A wonderful book of Bach pieces transcribed for the electric bass. I'm a music teacher who is primarily a guitarist, but I also have a few bass students, a couple of them who have progressed beyond the fundamentals of rhythm, position, and left and right hand fingering.These pieces offer a refreshing contrast to the more contemporary styles usually associated with the electric bass guitar, and the duets are fun to play with students.
Anyway, I love a challenge and I would suggest you get a bass buddy and work through these pieces and you will see and hear your performance level improve exponentially. Just what the audience ordered, right?
