A Complete Joy,
By Mark Jones (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bass Guitar for Dummies (Paperback)
I've been playing bass for 20 years on and off and never had a lesson. I bought this book 2 months ago and I'm finally learning what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong and why! I wish this had been out when I started.The style is entertaining and easy to read but also detailled and comprehensive without being tiring or overwhelming. The split of topics is good and the CD is a real support, not a gimmick. This book blows away every other bass instruction work I've ever picked up. Great fun, I'm really enjoying my playing and I can hear myself getting better week on week. Do yourself a favour and get this, it really is that useful.

Bass Guitar for Dummies,
By Clifton Jackson (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bass Guitar for Dummies (Paperback)
Do not let the title of this book fool you...Bass Guitar for Dummies is by far the Best overall Bass instruction book that I have ever had! The author's of the 'Dummies' series of books are all experts in their fields. Patrick Pfeiffer is no different! He is a Professional Bassist, and Bass teacher. In Bass Guitar for Dummies, Patrick Pfeiffer, shares with us his knowledge of the Bass and Bass playing, using his own special method of teaching.Bass Guitar for Dummies is well written and laid out. There is something in Bass Guitar for Dummies for everyone...From the very basics to creating your own Groove! There are superb examples of Blues, Rock, Jazz, Country, Reggie, Funk, Pop, Hard Rock, etc. in the book and on the CD. Most of the work and research has been done for by Patrick Pfeiffer. All you have to do is get a copy of Bass Guitar for Dummies, read it and practice what you have leaned. What could be easier?!
