- A dedicated chapter to help you master the fretboard in every key centre, allowing you to expand and eventually get away from box shapes.
- A section on rhythm to help you understand note values, metre and playing with ‘feel.’
- After getting all the notes under your fingers, we can then put them into context through understanding scales and harmony, where I go through music theory in a logical and precise way that anyone could understand. After this section, you’ll be able to have a conscious understanding of the relationship between notes, making it easier for you to communicate your ideas musically and engage more with the harmony members in your band.
Guaranteed to improve your bass playing or your money back!
Is your playing stuck in a rut? You see, after many years of music education and learning to play the electric bass, I feel I had been taught somewhat backwards! For instance, I’ve met many musicians who kept trying to learn advanced concepts before they had even grasped the basics! It seems they were attempting things without knowing what they were trying to accomplish, which is just crazy! If you’re learning something as complex as music, you can’t possibly build knowledge on top of confusion!
I made this book to bring clarity to the confusion of music, made worse by the wealth of information on the internet. I’ve built the knowledge up from the beginning, and I’m teaching you in order how you should be taught. From defining what music is? To explaining the modes from the melodic minor and what chords to use them over.
How to master the Electric Bass breaks each complicated concept into simple bitesize chunks, written in a sequence to maximize understanding.
