I recommend [url="http://www.amazon.com/Bass-Bible-Paul-Westwood/dp/3927190675"]this book [/url]unless you've already got too many. It includes about 1,000 (seriously!) basslines from all genres, both as tab and notes, and was a really good tutor for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Ooooooh another late starter..... 2 tips. 1. get 2 books i) 101 bass tips by Hal Leonard and ii) teach yourself bass guitar- step one DVD editioon. 2. When you know how to hold it the right way up and not poke your eye out with it... get a few lessons... Then try to keep up the sight reading but flog yourself to death with scales and arpeggios and pick up basslines by listening to them.... Worked for me.
