This book is definately worth buying. It is two books in one, plus the addition of a DVD. How can you go wrong? The content is superb, and if you take the time to go through the exercises, you will become proficient at not only playing the bass, but sight reading as well. I originally bought Part I of this book back in 1984 when I bought my first pawn shop special bass. Being 15 years old I didn't have the patience to get very far into the book, choosing to go the route of playing records (yes LPs) over and over and writing down my own music notation to help me remember the changes, etc. I eventually sold my bass and the book along with it. Fast forward several years and I decide to noodle with the bass again. All the books nowadays seem to be written in Tab, which is fine as far as it goes, but it always bothered me that I never learned to read. So when I saw this book available as Pts I and II and including a DVD I had to get it. Now that I have more patience and I am playing the bass more for my own kicks, rather than trying to be a garage band rock god, this book really hits the mark. This book isn't going to turn you into Billy Sheehan. You have to do that on your own, but if you want the nuts and bolts of how to get around the fingerboard, and if you have any interest in being a studio guy who must read charts on a daily basis, I believe that with some patience and judicious application of the methods and drills in this book, you will be well on your way. If only I had known then what I know now......
recommended by instructor for overall intro to bass study, it provided a 'basis' that lead to additional interest in string bass as well as electric.
I have over 35 years experience as a bassist and guitarist and give bass and guitar lessons. This is one of the items I suggest all of my students purchase when they begin their lessons with me. There are others that may be better tools as a student progresses but this edition gives them something to refer to for a lesson review. The CD and DVD included are invaluable. Those technologies didn't exist when I began so there were no references other than the photos in the book. This is a far better package.
I purchased this particular product because the cd & dvd were included. All other products include materials to be downloaded. Book did not come with the cd & dvd. Only a letter explaining that I must go online and download materials (exactly what I didn't want). Book looks okay. Print quality inside the book is not sharp and clear. Information in the book looks okay. I believe I will be able to revive what I had learned 30 years ago as I begin to pick up the bass guitar, once again. Very disappointed that the cd & dvd were not included.
He loves it and is doing quite well. He loves the fact that he has paper in front of him - how cool is that. He also said he loves that you start at the front of the book and just work your way through. We haven't even looked at the discs yet. He'll get to that when he's ready.It's very straight forward and easy to follow with great review of the previous section.
