This program has been designed to give the
Beginning Bassist a solid foundation on which to
build good technique and working repertoire that
will fit in with informal Bluegrass Jam Sessions.
This book is in two sections: 'Exercises in
Picking' and the 'Song Section'. If you are a
complete beginner, then you will want to start at
the beginning. If, on the other hand, you already
know something about the Bass you can move directly
into the Song Section.
The power of this
program are the audio recordings, which presents the
faster songs at a variety of slower tempos to build
technique. The songs are arranged in Standard Bass
Music Notation with Bass Guitar Tablature and Guitar
chords.
Song List: Roll In My Sweet Baby’s
Arms*, My Home’s Across The Blueridge Mountains*,
Kentucky Waltz*, Feudin’ Five Strings, Cripple
Creek, Blackberry Blossom, Wabash Cannon Ball*, Liza
Jane, Georgiana Moon, Camptown Races and more

Bass Christmas

The Holiday Season is a wonderful time for family
and friends to be together. It is also a great
opportunity to play music! That was the thought
behind this series; playing Christmas Carols as a
family or with friends.
The arrangements are
cleverly arranged to match the complimentary books
in this series: Mandolin Christmas, Banjo Christmas,
Fiddle Christmas, Dobro Christmas and Guitar
Christmas. You can mix and match any of the
arrangements in many different combinations to
create some very unique and entertaining Holiday
Music and Caroling.
As an example, let’s say
that you have a Guitar and Mandolin picker to jam
with. You can split up the parts between the three
of you. The Bass could play the lead, the Guitar
part 2 and Mandolin part 3. For variety, you can
switch these as you perform. The second time through
the song, as an example, the Bass could switch to
the backup, the Guitar to part 3 and the Mandolin
could go to part 1. On the next repeat, switch the
parts again! There are many possibilities.
Several play-along audio recordings have been
prepared to give you and idea of how the
arrangements sound with the instruments together and
other recording mixes minus the individual
instruments affording you the opportunity to fill in
the missing parts. This book includes standard Bass
music notation and Bass Guitar Tablature.
