Bass Guitar For Dummies® |
| Patrick Pfeiffer |
| A guide that’s sure to strike a chord with would-be bass players–complete with audio CD The bass guitar anchors the rhythm in almost all types of popular music. So it’s no wonder that the bass is the sixth most popular instrument today, played by twenty-one percent of amateur and hobbyist musicians, according to recent surveys. This fun and easy guide shows bass beginners how to choose an instrument and start laying down the rhythm, offering easy-to-follow guidance on right- and left-hand techniques, musical notation, chords, scales, timing, harmonics, and more. The book provides in-depth examples in a wide range of styles–rock, blues, jazz, country, new wave, and Latin–as well as a play-along CD with exercises to help readers develop their chops. Building on the success of Guitar for Dummies (0-7645-5106-X–over 250,000 copies sold) and the recent Rock Guitar For Dummies (0-7645-5356-9), this book is sure to be hit.
