chugster Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) I've been learning bass for a couple of months and have seen these "Play Along" Book and CD sets. Can anyone tell me if they are any good? Does the CD contain the complete tracks with the bass missing? Any particular recommendations? Thanks!

Bilbo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Many have versions of tunes with the bass in and with it taken out so you can hear what to do before attempting it. The biggest issue will be what music you like. A jazz play along will do nothing for you if you prefer rock or funk and vice versa. Find one that spearks your interest and dive in...

Doddy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I quite like the John Patitucci Ultimate Play Along books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Bajo Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Get the Muse and Metallica books. Decent bass lines that aren't to difficult to play. they have CDS with them. Some have the bass coming through on a left or right speaker so you can filter the bass out of required, it should say at the beginning of the book. pop along to your local music shop and have a read, then buy elswhere if its cheaper.
