About this ebook
First Lessons Bass is intended to introduce beginning students to the fundamental concepts of playing the electric bass. The material in this book equates to the first eight private bass lessons. This book uses the "3-finger" left-hand position commonly found in double bass technique. The emphasis on left-hand technique ensures the student develops a consistent fingering approach to the fingerboard, reduces unnecessary strain on the left hand, and makes the bass more accessible to younger students or those with smaller hands. After the left-hand technique is established, the book introduces the student to important elements of bass line construction, including blues patterns, the root-fifth relationship, and common rhythmic patterns. Includes access to online audio and video.
