If you are a beginner do not buy this book. It serves only to confuse. The tab examples of the scales presented in this book are atrocious. They would probably make more sense if the author told you what scale he is presenting. They do not line up with any of the scale diagrams. He is clearing going for diagram 1 but false to clearly explain the scales position. The scale examples move up the neck in five diagrams yet the author fails to indicate the fret number each diagram starts on. Again if you are a beginner do not buy this book it will only serve to discourage. If you are not a beginner continue to shop around there are better books out there. The one stars are for the lack of explanation. I have been playing bass for twenty years and I have to say this book could have been written better.
Simple. I took off a star because I think that it is a bit over priced for what it is. Nothing mentioned really about hand positioning, etc., while playing the scales. It just lists a bunch of things that you can easily find on the internet for free. It is nice to have it all assembled for you, so it certainly is worth something, but still, I feel that it is a little over priced.
This book is awesome. It has detailed charts and explenations of most every scale you would need as well as all the major/minor and power chords. This book has exploded my playing, and I'm now gaining a better understanding of playing bass lines off the cuff in various keys. I would recomend this book for the beginner or the old pro. Add this to your library and keep on rockin'!!
It's an o.k. book and works for me because I'm a beginner on the Bass. I have played six string acoustic for a few years, but want to learn bass because I have ddd and arthritis and can see the coming when I won't be able to play a six string.
This book is short and sweet and explains very simply how to play in all modes and scales. If you are beginner, intermediate or beyond, this will help you develop bass chords as well as how to play in scales that will make you sound like the best bass player on the block.
If you want to learn Bass this is the book for you. It will give you every thing you need to learn Bass Guitar. Bought it a couple weeks ago and I can't put it down. You will not be disappointed!
Great book very helpful with the notes and hand position. I'm a new bass player so it been very helpful
Excellent information for almost anyone.
