4.0 out of 5 stars An easy to understand book strictly for beginners, April 2, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Play Bass Guitar: Everything You Need to Know to Play the Bass Guitar (Paperback)
This book contains simple how to's for the bass guitar and is inteneded for beginners, even intermediate players can benefit with this book since it offers reinforcements of bass fundamentals. Decent illustrations set this book back a little bit, but the simple and helpful exercises, and easy to understand text more than makes up for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for beginners, July 19, 1999
I had no previous experience of playing bass guitar when I read this book. After 2 weeks of practicing on an acoustic, using 4 strings :), I bought my bass. The day I got the bass, I went to band practice at church, and got past the audition! Hows that for a learning curve, now I'm in the band! Thankyou to the author, simple to follow, easy to learn.
