The Bassist's Bible: How to Play Every Bass Style from Afro-Cuban to Zydeco

2nd Edition.
Book and 2CD + 1DVD Set.

This greatly expanded second edition is brimming with new features: both standard musical notation and tablature for all written musical examples; a DVD with 93 video tracks; the audio tracks for the 192 musical examples on the book's 2 CDs are twice as long as the tracks on the CDs in the original edition; many lengthier, more comprehensive chapters; and dozens of new written bass grooves (approximately 450 total). Styles covered include blues, rock, jazz, salsa, bossa nova, samb, ska, reggae, rai, country, cajun/zydeco, funk, metal polka, punk, surf, and klezmer.
Bass Player said of the original edition: "This cool new book will prove useful on many a working pro's reference shelf."

The new second edition is more comprehensive, considerably longer, and much more user friendly than the original edition. It's now a book for all bass players, from beginning students to working pros.
