I thought it might be helpful to create a thread to discuss the "Daily Practice for Bass" book series by Jim Stinnett.
As of today, I am on book 5.
There are a total of 13 books available. Each book represents a month of work. Each day is broken into 45 min practice sessions.
A 45 minute session usually looks something like:
15 min - Technique or Reading (changes every other day or so)
15 min - Motown or Funk or Jazz
15 min - Transcribing, Ear training, or one of the other styles of music not already covered in the previous 15 min.
There are audio files for a lot of the stuff, but not all of it. There are also videos he did on youtube that match up sometimes.
The books don't use tab so you have to be able to read a bit of bass clef to get started.
As far as I know, there is no errata available for these books.
I will post some notes I have made about the various lessons in this thread.
I'm hoping to hear from others who are using or have used these books.
