Summary of This Method
Designed to support both beginner bassists and more advanced musicians, this book/CD pack offers a structured training program over a full year, with a simple and effective goal: a regular routine that advances technique without distraction. Week after week, you develop essential fundamentals (left-hand cleanliness, right-hand articulation, synchronization) while consolidating the automatic skills that make a difference in rehearsals and on stage.
Throughout the 52 sessions, Jon Liebman covers the major pillars of bass playing: chromatics for independence and precision, scales and arpeggios to better navigate harmony, string-crossing exercises to gain fluidity, as well as more advanced patterns to push your technical comfort zone. The method also includes dedicated work on slap techniques (slapping and popping) to expand your palette and ease in modern styles.
One of the strengths of this content is its musical orientation: the exercises take the form of playable grooves in various styles (rock, funk, R&B, jazz, disco, reggae, etc.). The result: you don't just work on "mechanics," you also improve your groove sense, placement, and coordination. The benefits include increased speed, better dexterity, a more precise attack, and overall more confident playing.
The included CD gathers the 52 grooves : on one hand to listen to a clear demonstration, on the other to play along. An excellent tool to develop consistency, check rhythmic accuracy, and integrate new playing reflexes in a context close to real-life situations.
