which book/cd should I get?

[bottomfeeder]

I want to get a book /cd combo to practice with. I was thinking of one of these. I need help with my timing/groove/technique but i want it to be within the blues/old school r&b funk style.

 

Which one should I get?

if you own one of these give me a little review please.

All of these are good books.

 

I would get the building walking lines and then the funk bass one.

Although I haven't checked it out yet 'Building Walking Basslines' would be my pick. That takes some clinical study and analysis. You don't need a book to learn funk or blues, just lift that stuff off the best records you can find. You'll internalize better and as a really good art teacher told me - "When you stand on someone else's shoulders you see farther."

thanks for the info guys.

 

I hope to make a decision soon, because i want to order from amazon and not pay shipping.
