Mel Bay 1st Lessons Bass Guitar Book, CD & DVD
- $15.99
First
Lessons Bass is intended to introduce beginning students to the
fundamental concepts of playing the electric bass. The material
covered in this book is approximately the material covered in
the first 8 lessons of private bass instruction. This book makes
use of the "3-finger" left hand position commonly found in
double bass technique. The emphasis on left hand technique
allows the student to develop a consistent fingering approach to
the fingerboard, reduces unnecessary strain on the left hand,
and makes the bass more accessible to younger students or
students with small hands. After the left hand technique has
been established, the book introduces the student to important
elements of bass line construction including blues patterns, the
root-fifth relationship, and common rhythmic patterns.
