Playing Bass: Develop Great Feel & Technique on Bass Guitar

Welcome to "Playing Bass". Whether you're a beginner bassist looking to progress to the next level or you're still in the "bass players look cool" stage, you've corne to the right place. Regardless of your reason or current skill level, one thing is certain: you know the bass is where it's at.
This instrument has it all. You want to make people shake what they've got? The bass guitar practically is funk. You feel the need to make the walls rattle? Rock bassists have been doing that for years. You want to play it cool? The bass can be the most understated of all instruments. And where would jazz be without that walking bassline?
There are many names for the rhythmic feel in music: the pulse, the beat, the groove, etc. While the whole rhythm section is responsible for making music move, the bass is perhaps the largest piece
of the puzzle. No other instrument can get heads bobbing, fingers snapping, or booties shaking with such relative ease; and that, my friends, is power!
"Playing Bass"takes you from ground zero and teaches you everything you need to know to become a serious bass player. Almost nothing is presumed with regard to your musical abilitywe're starting from scratch here. We'll show you how to hold the bass, how to change a string, and how to get clown with some serious grooves.
