Elec. Bass Lines No. 5 and No. 6 combined!
Leader in Bass Education since 1969. This is an advanced 2-book compilation which helps further with reading (see #5 for the tougher gospel 6/8 reading pieces) as well as hip bass patterns and intensive Solfeggio/Theory (in #6 book).
Elec. Bass Lines No. 5 book features some very hip funky and rock-soul lines mostly from the 1970s styles, when bass was in its heyday of further creativity. Also sightreading, this is probably the toughest sightreading book out for bass you'll ever find, has some fingering indications to help. Also has Carol Kaye's entire ground-breaking Symphony Solo improvised when playing Tommy Vig's momentous "Days of Wine & Roses" unique classical arrangement featuring, for the first time, Electric Bass soloing with a symphony orchestra....solo in her "Bass Performances" CD, and contained in #5 book. There's also fine Jazz, Fusion lines and Exercises for the Elec. Bass in this exciting book and while it has some easier parts, be aware it's a tough book, not for the more-timid player.
Elec. Bass Lines No. 6 book contains advanced Theory featuring chord substution exercises and more Jazz patterns, as well as a great workout in Solfeggio. Every musician should know Solfeggio. You don't have to attend 4 years of college to learn it and use it in your playing, it especially helps with transposing into other keys as well as hearing relative pitch tones. Also featured are more hot bass licks "Hip Patterns" and a great work out on Circle of Fifths known in the musician talk as CYCLE....the key to knowing most chord changes. And a good workout in minor modes. This book rounds out the Bass Lines Series of 1-2-3-4-5-6, which begins with Carol's first classic book "How To Play The Electric Bass" and should prove to be extremely valuable in your musicianship as a complete Bass Player!
PS. Studio Musicians on hits of 1960s were behind-the-scenes in all recording arenas, 100s of Studio Musicians recording each year since 1920s in Hollywood....sometimes known as "the clique" but by no other name.
