A Must Have For Every Bass Player!This book can be used as a learning, reference or practice tool to explore new scales and shapes to help improve your songwriting, improvisational skills and practice routine.
Going from the simplest scales, such as the Minor Pentatonic scale, through to the more complex, such as Harmonic Minor and Melodic Minor. This book can be used simply as a reference point for shapes to play for certain scales/modes, or to further develop your knowledge and practice routines to become the ultimate bass player! There are lots of practice examples with tabs. You can download the audio for free on my website (link will be in the book).
