Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a complete beginner?
It works better once you can already fret and pluck cleanly. Treat it as drill material to build on fundamentals rather than a first lesson book.
02Does it teach standard notation or tab?
It is a Mel Bay bass method book of 100 rock and roll workouts. Check the specific edition listing for its notation format before ordering.
03How long does each workout take?
They are short workouts, so you can run several in one sitting or spread them across a week of practice.
04Is this useful for five-string bass?
Yes. The material is written for bass, and a five-string player can read and play it on the standard four strings.
