Members bassplayer7770 Posted July 1, 2005 Members Share Posted July 1, 2005 Originally posted by ARES Joel Di Bartolo - Serious Electric Bass. Taught me an absolute wealth of knowledge. I have this one, "Bass Fitness" by Josquin des Pres, and a couple Jaco transcription books. DiBartolo's book is definitely full of information, but be prepared to read notation... All the books seem good. I need to spend more time with mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members illidian Posted July 2, 2005 Members Share Posted July 2, 2005 Originally posted by ARES Joel Di Bartolo - Serious Electric Bass. Taught me an absolute wealth of knowledge. I've got the book as well. I bought it with the intention of it teaching me some theory. However, I was not prepared for it. My reading skills suck (I can read a chart and half-ass it now, but actual notes on the staff is still over my head) and it really hasn't helped me at all. If you can read, it's a great buy. But if not, it will fly over your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
