After a few essential pages dedicated to theory, you will approach these 12 minor scales - which every bass player must master - in the most coherent and effective way. Thus, for each of them, you will discover on the left page the name and the location of the notes on the neck (22 boxes), as well as the chords on which the scale in question can be played safely. On the right page, as an illustration, you will discover a long bass line that uses this one and only range, accompanied by two recordings (to download), the first for the demonstration and the second for the implementation (playback support). You can then play your turn on this soundtrack not only the example offered, but also any other groove or bass line of your design... from the minor scale in question of course! All the recordings of this method (bass lines and playbacks) can be downloaded for free and very easily by following the instructions provided in the book.

Ce livre, au format réduit (21 x 12) sera votre guide pour apprendre toutes les gammes et les modes de la basse, ainsi que les notions théoriques nécessaires à leur bonne compréhension. Il sera aussi bien sûr un aide-mémoire sur lequel vous pourrez revenir aussi souvent que nécessaire. L'apprentissage des gammes sera pour vous bénéfique à tous points de vue : elles constituent un excellent moyen de connaître le manche de la basse et les notes qui le composent - elles permettent de travailler la technique pure, tant à la main droite qu'à la main gauche. Enfin, une fois maitrisées, elles vous permettront de trouver des idées mélodiques sur tout le manche afin de jouer ou créer des lignes, des grooves et des solos. Les enregistrements mp3, disponibles gratuitement par téléchargement, reprennent toutes les gammes (majeure, mineure naturelle, mineure harmonique, mineure mélodique, pentatonique mineure, pentatonique majeure, blues, diminuée, demi-diminuée, par ton) et les modes (ionien, dorien, phrygien, lydien, mixolydien, aéolien, locrien) présentés. / Guitare Basse
