Blues music is a sturdy, adaptable music that reflects many shades of emotions and lends itself to numerous stylistic interpretations. This 5 1/2 by 8 QWIKGUIDE is designed to help the bassist become more versatile. Each blues bass pattern in this book is played over four bars of C7. By practicing all 50 licks over the same chord progression, students can learn the basic concept of improvisation: how to play a variety of musical phrases over the same chord or chord changes. Each example is written in both notation and tablature exactly as it is recorded. The accompanying audio, featuring Larry McCabes Heat-Seeking Missile Blues Band is recorded in stereo with drums and rhythm guitar in the center, bass guitar on the left, and lead guitar on the right. The licks are recorded at a moderate tempo for ease of learning. The rhythm guitar parts heard on the online audio recording are taught in Mel Bays 101 Bad to the Bone Blues Guitar Rhythm Patterns. The lead guitar parts are taught in Mel Bays Famous Blues Guitar Lines. Includes access to online audio.

Questo metodo si rivolge a tutti i bassisti che hanno voglia di divertirsi e di esercitarsi a lungo suonando non meno di 50 grooves Funk!
Per affrontare serenamente queste 50 linee di basso Funk, lostudio inizia con un capitolo preliminare dedicato alle principali tecniche di esecuzione (palm mute, ghost notes, shake, double stops, slide, hammer-on, pull-off, slap…) nonché alle particolarità ritmiche(sedicesimi e relative pause, lo staccato…) di questo stile musicale.
Il DVD Video permette inoltre di scoprire tutti questi grooves suonati in vere condizioni musicali, a velocità normale, poi ridotta. IlCDAudio MP3 invece vi dà la possibilità di interpretarli su delle basi musicali di lunga durata (da 3 a 4 minuti ognuna, ossia più di 6 ore di musica in tutto!), a velocità normale, poi ridotta (dueregistrazioni per ogni groove).
Potrete in questo modo esercitarvi nelle migliori condizioni possibili. In breve, si tratta di un metodo ideale per suonare veri grooves completi alla maniera dei più grandi: JamesBrown, The Meters, Bootsy Collins, Parliament, The Commodores, Earth, Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Maceo Parker, The Temptations...

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. Includes access to online audio and video.â?¢ Introduction for beginning students to the fundamental concepts of playing the electric bass.â?¢ Book is approximately the material covered in the first 8 lessons of private bass instruction.â?¢ Makes use of the 3-finger left hand position commonly found in double bass technique.â?¢ Offers student important elements of bass line construction: blues patterns, root-fifth relationship, and common rhythmic patterns.â?¢ Includes access to online audio and video.
