Fretless Bass
Szkoła gry na basie bezprogowym może stanowić uzupełnienie nauki na standardowym instrumencie. Publikacja wprowadza w tajniki techniki gry bez progów, na nowo uczy poszczególnych technik basowych, wreszcie mówi o tym jak usunąć progi z normalnej gitary basowej. Na dołączonej płycie CD znajdują się nagrania przykładów i osiemnastu zawartych w publikacji piosenek (w tym akompaniamenty)
An ideal supplement to any bass method, this book/CD pack uses 18 actual songs in various styles to teach key elements of the electric fretless bass, such as intonation; harmonics; keys, scales and intervals; and more. You'll learn to play in the style of Jaco Pastorius, Flea, Jack Bruce, Will Lee, Sting, Gary Willis, Tony Franklin, Jeff Ament and many others via 18 great songs: Bad Love • Continuum • Even Flow • Hocus Pocus • I Could Die for You • Jelly Roll • King of Pain • Kiss of Life • Lady in Red • Tears in Heaven • Very Early • What I Am • White Room • and more.
