Book Reviews of Teach Yourself VISUALLY Bass Guitar
Book Review: Great for Beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book to teach myself the bass guitar. So far so good! The book is very visual, bright coloured pictures to support the theory and practical exercises. This is very helpful in playing the right way!
My only hang up is that I found the book could have been sorted a bit better, in terms of the topics. But this is not a problem since each chapter can be read alone, due to the way it is seperated by topics. This is very uselful for people who may already have some experience, they can skip to areas they need.
Overall the book is excellent and has helped me a lot as a beginner. I can easily recommend it!
Summary of Teach Yourself VISUALLY Bass Guitar
Do you learn faster by seeing and doing than by wading through tedious instructions? Then pick up a bass guitar and start plucking! With Teach Yourself VISUALLY Bass Guitar, you'll quickly progress from playing notes to experimenting with plucking and slap-and-pop techniques. You'll learn about tuning, fretboard fingerings, alternate fingerings, down picking, palm muting, and more. The bass usually sets the tempo, so you'll learn basic note values plus common popular rhythms from straight rock to syncopated reggae. Downloadable MP3 files on wiley.com complement the book and let you hear exactly how things are supposed to sound as you play.Concise two-page lessons show you all the steps to a skill and are ideal for quick review
