The Blues Bass Handbook (Paperback)

Instead of progressive harmony and fancy licks, blues bass playing is all about creating a great feel and locking it in. This book/CD pack teaches classic blues bass lines, as well as how to create your own. Once you know the bass lines, the author shows you how to apply them to different blues styles, covering topics such as: the 12-bar blues, the 1-3-5 theme, shuffle vs. walking bass, box patterns, tone, turnarounds and more. You'll find everything you need to be jamming blues bass in no time.
