Summary of This Method
This bass method stands out for its both historical and practical approach: it offers a broad overview of the major styles that have shaped the bass in rock and pop music, from the 1950s to today. You explore the essential codes of rock'n'roll, the world of the Beatles, the energy of classic rock, the fundamentals of disco, the rhythms of reggae, the grooves of R&B, and Latin colors, with particular attention to how each style is played and felt.
To get started immediately, the edition includes fully written bass lines and tablatures, note by note, to work on rhythmic precision, articulation, and phrasing coherence. The fingering charts guide you in choosing effective positions and transitions to gain fluidity and reproduce the reflexes specific to each aesthetic. An ideal resource to enrich your vocabulary, build solid grooves, and better understand what makes a bass "sound" in a rock/pop context.
The included CD complements the learning with top-quality demo versions, performed and recorded by the author Dominic Palmer accompanied by renowned musicians from the professional London scene. You also have backing tracks to train in musical conditions, develop your sense of timing, and work on endurance, whether in rehearsal, playing with a pick or fingers, and within a group playing context.
