Independent shopping perspective
Teach Yourself to Play Bass is a Book & DVD method that starts at the practical basics: choosing, tuning, holding, fingering, picking, notation, and TAB. Lessons then move through notes, scales, and bass lines, with rock, heavy metal, blues, country, and jazz included in the curriculum. Reference pages provide TAB material, fingerboard and chord charts, plus hand-position photos. Jared Meeker teaches every lesson on the DVD, and TNT 2 lets you alter supplied audio tracks for focused practice.
