Leader in Bass Education since 1969. Elec. Bass Lines No. 3 book has the finest of interval studies in all keys and has the side benefit of helping bass players learn to read notes in easy settings using easy 8th notes mainly. You'll learn your whole neck very fast and well with these fun-studies which have important fingerings/LH positions noted. Interval books are usually boring, but not this one which has fascinating, easy-reading short studies, long studies, etudes, some classical and segue-way hip parts, while giving the bass student plenty to chew on for awhile while helping ear development for much-needed chordal tones (as well as beginning scales). A fun and easy way to learn their whole neck!
Elec. Bass Lines No. 4 book, is paired with No. 3 for a complete package in learning more rhythmic statement-answer funky, soul, and pop-rock lines while playing accurately transcribed hit-recording lines Carol recorded in the 1960s-70s on top recordings you'll recognize. These studies prepare you to learn your neck, while learning the necessary creative rhythmic and song-composition bass-line creativeness for the bass player wanting to expand their musicianship. Side benefit is learning to read those common 16th note rhythmic patterns also as well as learning when to shift because sightreading well depends on correct fingering and shifting. The art of sightreading is easy on the Elec. Bass, a skill useful for the rest of your life and the best working gigs require reading -- easy to learn with this book full of fingering indications also.
