Learning how to play bass guitar from nothing is what this short Jason Randall guide is for, tab first and theory only where it earns a page.
What's inside
Tablature and exact finger placement come first, then fretting technique and the habits that quietly ruin it.
Groove theory, the musical alphabet, the major scale, chord formulas, triads, and how the fifth behaves against a root note.
Good to know
Sixty six pages, so it stops where a beginner stops. Anyone past their first year will find the ceiling low.
