This book aims at making you play your first accompaniments on bass. You will start by playing very simple bass lines around which, over the pages, will become progressively richer, more loaded, until ending with accompaniments mixing white, black and eighth notes, on Pop, Rock and Blues grids of 8 and 12 bars. Equalling to 40 accompaniments in total, presented in the greatest clarity with, on the score, both the staff and the corresponding tablature, but also the name of the chords that the bass accompanies. To learn how to play in place, but also to have fun as if you were in a band, among other musicians, a specific playback for each of the 40 bass lines is available. Finally, on the data disc (mp3 audios and mp4 videos) attached to the method, you will find a video of the only bass part for each accompaniment, an audio recording mixing the bass and its playback, and finally the playback itself, in long-term version. More than 4 hours of music in total!
