As far as I'm aware,there isn't one.

Conan Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I am also an EPQ supervisor and ET is spot on. To get good marks the report has to be critical and analytical rather than simply descriptive. That's the hard bit! But at the end of the day this is meant to be a challenging piece of work rather than just a student waffling on about something that interests them. I totally agree about using this site as a source of information though. Just be careful how you refer to it in your bibliography. As it is not peer-reviewed it can only really be regarded as "pers. comm." (Personal communication). Good luck though on a very cool research area!

There is a book with a bit of Larry Graham in-'Bass Master Class' by Glenn Letsch.It also lessons from Jaco,Rocco,Mike Chapman and Ben Wolfe. It's a good book,but the Graham section doesn't have anything to really make it stand out amongst the other books on slap.
