4.0 out of 5 stars Easiest Ever Bass Book, November 28, 1999

This review is from: Easiest Ever Bass Book 1 (Plastic Comb)

I thought this was a good book for beginners. It really explians everything in detail and the tabs are easy to learn. There is even songs to learn. Over all this is a good book to get if you have never played the bass guitar.

5.0 out of 5 stars don't judge a book by its cover - this one is great!, April 1, 2002

This review is from: Easiest Ever Bass Book 1 (Plastic Comb)

At first, when I received the book, I was dissapointed by the "hand made" book (its not handmade, but it seems like someone could have crafted it with a copy machine in their garage) I started right in on it and immediately I was making "noise" on my bass. I got two books at the same time and the second book was all fancy and even had a CD, but it was more advanced and a bit too fast and didn't explain the easy steps (Especially since it called istelf "Abosolute Beggining Bass". The "Easiest Bass Guitar Book" is HIGHLY reccomended for a 1st timer who knows nothing about playing bass, its exactly what the title of the book says. I haven't had a real lesson yet but with this book I can actually play a song or two that it included and they sound good. I would reccomend you go through this book entirely before doing any other book, it gives a very good foundation for starting out on your bass...
