"How to Play Rock Bass for Guitarists" |
| #: |
Shinko Music MOOK |
| Price: |
1,600 yen (incl/tax) |
| Issued: |
September 2011 |
| works: |
- played the basses
- played the guitars
- made tracks
- gave advices how to play
- took pictures (except the covers)
- made concepts of illustrations
|
|
Actually, this book is written also for the bassists, however, Shinko Music says that this book is for the guitarists who want to try playing the bass. The difference between playing the guitar and playing the bass is on your "left hand" (mainly your left pinky).
This book contains a lot of exercises for your left pinky. That means this book is very good also for the bassists who want to strangthen your left pinky.
