Written in the tradition of Mel Bay's original Modern Guitar Method, Grade 1.Combines ease of learning with outstanding music selections. Provides music theory essential to understanding the book's performance demands.Tablature was not used in this book, except in specific situations, in order to encourage the development of standard music notation reading skills.With the large number of extended range electric basses being used today, an effort was made to include notes for those instruments where applicable.In some instances, a choice of two notes instead of one is provided. These can be played in whatever octave the student prefers or has available on the instrument.

This method is loaded with information. In the author's words, the electric bass is in a very exciting developmental period. No longer does it just provide 'low-end support.' Now entire songs are built around the bass line. This method is both easy to understand and thorough! It provides the theory and technique needed to play contemporary bass, and it covers such modern effects as slap & pop and right-hand hammering techniques. While note reading is taught, tablature is also presented.

Covering all the material required for the advanced examination grades in the bass guitar, this handbook includes useful advice and tips about preparing for the examination.
