A good overview of bass guitar fundamentals.

[Calvin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has been instrumental with starting my journey on the bass guitar. Although I came with previous knowledge of music (theory and notation reading), it gave me great insight to music from the bass perspective. To this day is still is a wonderful reference tool that I revisit a few times throughout the year.
