Groovy Bass Patterns

I found this book because I was reading Funk Keyboard by Gail Johnson and a reviewer of that book said to buy this. Since I am learning Bass I did buy and I'm amazed. This is a fantastic learning value.The author, des Pres, suggests that the best way to learn these is to just dive in and start trying to play them. There is no instruction in the book. There is a bass clef / Bass tab for each groove and a CD that plays them out.I decided to test the CD out by playing it and find out if anything caught my ear. Oh yeah! Right from the start the tracks caught my attention. They repeat the groove four times and I was finding myself upset that they were ending! Yes these are beats worth learning. There are 101 of them and they are pretty good for the most part with little filler.Since the grooves are short (2 to 4 measures) I've also been using this book for Bass ear training. I'll listen carefully to a track then try to find it on the fret board and get it down. I then "peek" inside the book to see if I'm correct. At first I seemed to be off a 3rd a lot but now I'm close 90% of the time except for a sixteen beat here or there. I hear bass differently now and this book made it easy.For the cost of this book you can learn a lot and have a lot of fun learning funk style organically.

This is a fun book

The tab is accurate enough to get you going but you'll need to use your ears and brain to work out the most logical fingerings that work for you.That's the way a good musical instruction book should be written.

Lots of fun stuff in here

Lots of fun stuff in here. Reading the notation really helps with accurate subdivisions.Audio examples are played accurately as well. So you can really hear the 16th note rests, ghost notes and hammer ons.
