Finally Alex Webster has published his own DM bass tab book. Anyone here have it yet? I'm pondering buying it but I'm on a very tight budget n was wondering how thorough it is. Thanks.

Alex Webster Death Metal Tab Book!
- Thread starter Reigninblood

Alex Webster, like a lot of Death Metal players, is highly under-rated. Because he is from one of the biggest bands in the genre he is in a position to leverage that into teaching people that want to learn the style. Having played in death metal and grindcore bands myself I can tell you its no joke, and the fact that Webster does it finger style is just more impressive.

My friend has the book I haven't looked at it but from what he's told me it's very helpful. I say go for it.
I may get it myself one day.It has both but it is definitly not "tab oriented", most of what he teaches in (from what I have gone through so far) is rhythm's, speed building, common styles that he uses like a lot of diminished chords and scales.
He covers a lot of stuff, majority of it is still way over my head but even the first few pages of 2 finger technique exercises have been helping me develop speed faster than the previous things I was trying.
It seems really well layed out and he does cover a lot
I ordered it from a local music store and it was under 20 bucks canadian, so far it seems like one of the better books on my shelf even though I wont be using it much until I work up to that level of playing.
Oh and the backing tracks for it are crazy good, near the end of the book he has 4 or 5 full songs for you to play through.
