Follow You Down

There's more to rock bass playing than just following the guitarist's left hand! This book gives you all the tools you need to construct your own bass lines, creatively and effectively, in a rock context. You'll learn: tips on playing position and posture; warm-up exercises; essential scales and rhythms; building with octaves, approach notes and fifths; box shapes, pentatonic scales and blues; rhythmic variations; and more. The CD includes exercises and full-length tunes.

The Bass Play-Along Series will help you play your favorite songs quickly and easily! Just follow the tab, listen to the CD to hear how the bass should sound, and then play along using the separate backing tracks. The melody and lyrics are also included in the book in case you want to sing, or to simply help you follow along. The audio CD is playable on any CD player. For PC and Mac computer users, the CD is enhanced so you can adjust the recording to any tempo without changing pitch!
