Bass Guitar For Dummies

Great book, received it more quickly than I thought I would, in perfect condition. Everything is accessible, no harsh reading at all. I already have good knowledge of music theory since I’ve been playing piano and guitar for quite a few years now, but being new to electric bass, this book allow me to get a good start. The fact that every chapter is independent is great, for I can skip those talking of subjects I already know well without getting lost. I recommend it, same for the seller. Thanks !

Really good guide to use in conjunction with lesson books as explains terms well. Have looked up a lot of terms and theories. It does what the title says!

Use este libro para recorder todo lo que olvide atraves de Los años sin tocar el bajo. Excelente para empesar a tocar o revisar.

This book (and the accompanying videos) has become one of my three primary resources for learning bass. It was a great help with getting set up, finger drills and conditioning, scales, and progressing. Mr. Pfeiffer's writing style is entertaining and keeps the reader's interest. The videos are more straightforward and do an excellent job of demonstrating the material. I am very glad I purchased this and do not hesitate to recommend it.

I was looking at several books that might help me in self-teaching bass playing. I ended up settling in this one because it offered some online content, such as tablatures and videos. All other books I was looking at shipped with a CD (honestly that's a joke nowadays). Anyway, I was not disappointed, as an absolute beginner the book offered various essential tips to get started. I'm not a fluent player yet, I'm advancing slowly. But I feel that the book will also be useful at later stages when I get more familiar with the mechanics of playing the bass. I wholeheartedly recommend this, the direction I see for improvement is making more helper content available online.
