Radical idea. Simple idea.
I know that there are monthly magazines and free lessons but whichever you choose, you still end up guessing and figuring things out for yourself (fingering/ keys/ chords/ right hand) - possibly wrongly.
So:- who's up for picking one thing, one series or one book, and all studying at the same time ( one bite per week) and using one thread to discuss it?
Who's up for it? |

At Bass Day in NYC a few years ago one of the clinicians mentioned a standardized book for electric bassist.
I have not seen or heard another word mentioned?? |

Studied "How to play piano from fake chord sheet music", i.e how to play chord accompaniment. Good experience. Gotta have a leader to keep it going. Pbassred it's your string pick a book and tell us where we can get a copy. |

| ......which is exactly the point. Some learn, some contribute, some ask dumb questions, and then we all realize that most of us didn't know either!
Question is:- what book?
I have the Josquin des pres "70s Funk and disco Bass" book. I'm not suggesting that (partly because not everyone likes funk). But to note its pros and cons;-
I think that its useful to have BOTH tab and notation.
There is a CD so you can hear what you were supposed to play.
It does NOT have any chords or analysis of the scales used.
Its not a beginner book so it assumes some knowledge. BUT A non beginner book can be used alongside whatever book you happen to be using.
It doesn't need to be complex. Its not an ego fest. There is something to be learned from even the simple things. I'll go along with the majority. I'm easy.
I'm thinking - Take a bite once a month to give everyone time to master/ discuss/ learn? Start on the 1st of each of the month ( give amazon a chance to get the book to us.) |

I'm in if a book can be agreed upon
