Play-Along Tracks For Developing Your Blues Bass Performnace Skill. Par ROSE FRANK DE. Welcome to the School of the Blues Lesson Series! This book and recording were created to help give you context to all the music you worked so hard to learn. The recorded Play-Along Trax have no bass. This gives you the opportunity to work on your blues bass patterns. I have used several different keys and tempos throughout these Play-Along Trax. These Play-Along Trax give you a very realistic example of how you would play live with a band. Music examples are kept fairly simple to make sure this book is accessible to bass players just above the beginning level. For best understanding of these techniques refer to Mel Bay's Blues Bass, Level 1 (MB21063BCD). Lastly, all the references in this book are written for a right-handed four string electric bass. If you play a 5 string bass you just need to extend the examples to include your B string. If you play left-handed then you need to reverse any references to the left and right hands. We will use standard music notation along with bass tablature (TAB) for this book. / Niveau : Débutant / Blues - Play Along / Tablatures / Guitare Basse Tablatures

This method is designed for both the bassists and drummers and its purpose is to help them play together in almost all major musical styles: Rock Blues Funk Rhythm and Blues Disco/Dance Reggae Latin music etc...

In this way the grooves can easily be read and analysed from both perspectives. For each style you will begin practisingone bar then two bar patterns... before tackling longer and more complex grooves.
