Description

Learn to Play Bass Guitar with Bass Guitar For Dummies


Whether you play funk, soul, rock, blues or country, the bass guitar is the heart of the band. It provides a crucial driving force and foundation for other members to work off. Bass players like John Paul Jones, Kim Deal and Jimmy Nolan have made big names for themselves and commanded great respect throughout music history.


With Bass Guitar For Dummies, Patrick Pfeiffer—a coach for U2's Adam Clayton among others—is your friendly guide to laying down the low end. The book starts from the beginning, teaching you what bass and accessories to buy and showing you how to hold and position your instrument. You'll also learn how to read music and understand chords, and gradually develop your skills until you're confidently playing your own solos and fills.



  • Sharpen your skills with instructional audio and video.

  • Discipline your play with exercises.

  • Understand chords, scales and octaves.

  • Care for your instrument.


Whether you're new to the bass or already well into the groove, Bass Guitar For Dummies provides a thorough balance of theory and practice that distinguishes the titanic Hall of Famer from the just-so-so.


P.S. If you think this book seems familiar, you're probably right. The Dummies team updated the cover and design to give the book a fresh feel, but the content is the same as the previous release of Bass Guitar For Dummies (9781118748800). The book you see here shouldn't be considered a new or updated product. But if you're in the mood to learn something new, check out some of our other books. We're always writing about new topics!
