  • An excellent first book for learning the bass!
Great first book for people learning the bass. I play and teach many woodwind and brass instruments and I dabble with the violin, so I have a good idea about what makes for a good book to learn from, and this fits with my philosophy very nicely. This book starts with open strings and gradually introduces notes which require using fingers on the strings. It also starts with pizzicato (plucked) playing so the student gets comfortable just making sounds on the instrument before it introduces the use of the bow. This book has clear explanations of what to do and good pictures to demonstrate. An excellent first book! ... show more

  • A Good Place to Start
This is a good beginner book for the Double Bass instrument, I'm pleased with how easy it was to pick up the basics. Like I said it is a beginner book and only went over a couple of scales, the D and C major scales I believe. It also comes with a CD and DVD to help advance your skills by playing along(CD) but I haven't used it. The DVD is to show how to sit and hold the instrument and things of that nature but not necessarily how to finger or play the notes. The book does a good job explaining this though. It is still worth the purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to play this instrument. ... show more
