Summary of This Book
The Rifftionary for bass is a collection dedicated to bass lines that have marked the history of contemporary music. Designed as a "riff library," it allows you to quickly pick up groove ideas, improve your sense of rhythmic placement, and expand your palette of sounds, whether you are seeking inspiration for playing in a band, composing, or simply progressing in reading and interpretation.
Beyond the riffs, the book stands out for its editorial approach: for each song, you find notable facts, lyrics, the bassist's name, as well as a quote from them related to the track. It's an excellent format to work on a riff while understanding what makes its identity (attack, repetition, relationship to the drums, dynamics), while adding a "song history" dimension that encourages moving on to the next titles.
Among the selection, you will encounter artists such as Marvin Gaye, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Nirvana, James Brown, Pantera, The Temptations, Green Day, and many others. Examples of included tracks: Another Brick In The Wall (Pink Floyd), Boogie Wonderland (Earth, Wind & Fire), The Chain (Fleetwood Mac), Cowboys From Hell (Pantera), Ghost Town (The Specials), Good Times (Chic), I Heard It Through The Grapevine (Marvin Gaye), In Bloom (Nirvana), Longview (Green Day), Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson).
