To prevent confusion with the thread about the concept of doing this ... http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=666529
No more posts of support now. We're doing it!
We only want nominations for books on this thread. Actual book titles. Not "a book by so and so" Preferably with a ISBN so we can all look it up. Even better if you can tell up why you think its great.
Reminder; we need.
1) reading (I dropped the tab idea)
2) CD
3) be available.
plus (we can't please everyone) the MAJORITY of
1) technique like scales and arpeggios
2) styles
3) jazz stuff like harmony and walking
4) rhythms
(That stuff usually comes up in one form or another anyway.) |

The Improvisor's Bass Method: For Electric & Acoustic Bass http://www.amazon.com/Improvisors-Ba.../dp/0961470100
Sadly there is no CD, probably because the book was published before CDs were popular.

I already have the bass method 1-3 and am halfway through book 2 already so I'll probably have it mostly finished by the time something is determined here.

Not trying to influence the group decision, but if you do pick one of my books, I will make some time to stop in and answer questions. And I won't even go mental on you. |

It's got a CD filled with classic songs and styles. What I like is the music with the tabs. I don't read music, and I hate myself for that. But, what can you do? Buy a book by an enabler like Ed!
