This bass method covers the very basics such as the parts of the bass, how to hold the bass, understanding notes, rests, tempo, and time signature, while learning the music of The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, and more. Beginners will learn the notes of the bass with riffs like “Day Tripper” and “Stand by Me,” and learn to read rhythms and tab with classics by the Who and Red Hot Chili Peppers. They will learn fingerstyle and pick techniques with “Roxanne” and “Low Rider.” Included are nearly 90 riffs plus a CD with many of the book’s examples.
