such_a_noob Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 What is the best literature for a beginning bass player? I have zero musical experience, so reading something dealing with music theory will bore the crap out of me. I am reading thru the posts here, adn don't have a clue what is being said... Someone help! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 For the ump-teeth time, I'll tell you people to get the Bass Player Book from BP Magazine!!! GET IT!!! There are NO Exceptions. Sorry for yelling, but I need to get my point across. It's helped me a lot, even now that I know how to play somewhat. There's something for everyone in there.

Mike H. Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Time and just plain old asking questions is the best literature (it's not "stupid" to ask questions). Hell, I've been working in music retail for 7 years and still have to scratch my head and ask questions here and there. Hanging out with more experienced players also helps education and understanding. http://www.identity5.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Kesling Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I recomend Chuck Rainey's series of bass instructional books called "The Complete Electrci Bassits" The BP book is good too. Will p.s. I am out of the marines in three weeks. How is the grass on the other side? One Life...One Destiny... Thirteen Colvmns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the grass on the other side?I've been out for a few years, and I still don't believe it sometimes. There are days when I would give anything to go back and be a Lance Corporal for the rest of my life. The worst thing is my friends, I miss them, can't get ahold of them... Congrats on being so short... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
