Members Joe_Camel Posted December 10, 2003 Members Share Posted December 10, 2003 I would say the Bass Grimoire, but I didn't really like it a whole lot. But maybe someone else might like it. it seems like it wold be a good reference book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazz Ad Posted December 10, 2003 Author Members Share Posted December 10, 2003 I wouldn't recommend the Bass Grimoire neither.Very boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joe_Camel Posted December 10, 2003 Members Share Posted December 10, 2003 well, it just seemed really redundant too. i mean, do i really need to know the 7 modes of every scale once I know what a mode is? maybe i'm just confused on what a mode is.

Members sheepdog Posted December 10, 2003 Members Share Posted December 10, 2003 Bass Guitar for Dummies actually a REALLY good book. Starts very basic and gets into some (somewhat) advanced theory and styles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joe_Camel Posted December 10, 2003 Members Share Posted December 10, 2003 The "For Dummies" series seems really good most of the time. I've bought C++ for Dummies, Windows Programming for Dummies, and DirectX for Dummies, all were pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
