Welcome to the School of the Blues Lesson Series! This book and recording were created to help give you context for all the music you worked so hard to learn. The recorded Play-Along Trax has no bass. This allows you to work on your blues bass patterns. I have used several different keys and tempos throughout these Play-Along Trax. The Play-Along Trax provides a very realistic example of how you would play live with a band.
Music examples are kept simple to be accessible to bass players just above the beginning level. For the best understanding of these techniques, refer to the Blues Bass Method- School of the Blues.
Lastly, all the references in this book are written for a right-handed four-string electric bass. If you play a 5-string bass, the examples need extending to include your B string. If you play left-handed, you will reverse any references to the left and right hands. This book is written in standard music notation along with bass tablature (TAB). Includes access to online audio.
