"The Bass Player Book" is the essential all-in-one handbook for both acoustic and electric bass players, offering invaluable advice and instruction on technique, gear, and, most importantly, inspiration. Packed with dozens of photos, musician profiles, and in-depth musical examples, this book is a must for the beginner as well as the battle-hardened veteran.
"The Bass Player Book" has three main parts: Playing the Bass, Equipment, and Innovators. Parts one and two each start with beginner information and progress toward material for the more advanced bassist. Part one, "Playing the Bass" includes information on theory, groove and sense of time, gigging, slapping and harmonics, and rock, jazz, blues, country, and Latin styles. Part two takes you from buying an instrument to hooking up a full amp system, choosing effects, and recording. Plus there's a photo essay on the most notable electric basses ever designed. Part three contains stories on seven bassists who forever changed the way the instrument was played: James Jamerson, Paul McCartney, Larry Graham, Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius, Flea, and Les Claypool. You'll find these artists' words inspiring no matter where you are in the learning process. "The Bass Player Book" also contains a discography of the 30 best bass albums you must own.
Edited By: "The Bass Player Book" was edited by Karl Coryat.
