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.

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...

Yes, there were some typos in earlier versions but they have been fixed in the third printing.

I definately recommend this for fist time bass users. It explains the most basic concepts, as if you were a child--but this is a good thing. Buy it if you're a new bass player.

this book was pretty good. it looks like something you could make at home, but the infromation inside is valuable. in one part of the book, though, theres mistakes where the notes on the neck are being labeled.

I am a beginner, and I was attracted by this book's title.

It is laid out in an easy-to-read fashion, almost like a comic, and simple language is used to explain the exercises and the small amount of music theory that is included.

One issue I have, is that in my copy, 1998, second printing, the "Notes on the Neck" section includes a number (10 or so out of 44) mislabeled notes. I was puzzled for a while, but I've checked other books, which are consitent with each other, and with note progression. So beware.

Also, this is Vol.1: are there others?
