About the Author
Roger Filiberto needs no introduction to the guitar world, as his students are some of the finest artists in America today. Roger started teaching tenor banjo in 1923. With his experience of playing in the Dixieland music era, he quickly became aware that the succession of chords C, E7, A7, D7, G7, back to C, followed by C7, F, Fm, and then ending with C, A7, D7, G7 to C would train almost any interested student to cope with the "faking" required of banjo players in that era. He taught this sequence of chords in all reasonable keys to all of his students. Beginning in the mid-1920's, Roger taught countless students to play banjo, steel guitar, Spanish guitar, and bass at his studio in New Orleans. After many years of teaching, he published his first book, the Melody Chord System for Spanish Guitar, with Forster in 1936. This publication was followed by a similar book for guitar, Chord Construction and Harmony as Applied to the Guitar, published by Gibson. The Gibson steel guitar book was later republished by Mel Bay Publications, Inc., with a comprehensive one-volume edition issued in 1968 under the title Complete Steel Guitar Method.

Great Follow-Up to Mel Bay #1,
This review is from: Mel Bay's Electric Bass Method-2 (Sheet music)
Assuming that the reader followed the lessons of book #1, Mel Bay's Bass #2 continues to guide beginners through formulating basic riffs to accompany guitarists. Echoing the rockabilly style of his time, Bay provides scale patterns as well as simple, but fun, walking lines (without tab). If a beginner is looking for a throroughly educating book, this is the one!
